[Xorp-users] HEADS UP: "create" and "set" configuration commands are merged

Due to popular demand, the "create" and "set" configuration
commands are merged, so now the new "set" command can be used for
setting values and for creating new configuration nodes.

(Strictly speaking, the new "set" command is actually the old
"create" command which was already capable of setting values and
creating new configuration nodes).

For backward compatibility, the obsoleted "create" command is
preserved as an alias for the new "set" command, though it may be
removed in the future.


This change is in XORP-current and will be in the forthcoming
XORP-1.3 release.

For details about the decision to merge those commands see
the xorp-hackers email exchange with Subject: "BG 172":

and Bugzilla entry #172:

Please let me know if you find any issues because of this change.
