Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the rtnetlink crate's public API by re-exporting two foundational netlink crates, netlink_packet_core and netlink_packet_generic, under more concise aliases. This change aims to simplify access to core Netlink packet structures and generic Netlink functionalities for users of the rtnetlink crate, improving usability and module organization.

Highlights

• Re-export netlink_packet_core: The netlink_packet_core crate is now re-exported as packet_core, making its public API directly accessible through the rtnetlink crate.
• Aliased re-export of netlink_packet_generic: The netlink_packet_generic crate is now re-exported as packet_generic, providing a consistent naming convention alongside packet_core for easier access.

Changelog

• src/lib.rs
  • Re-exported netlink_packet_core as packet_core.
  • Changed the re-export of netlink_packet_generic to use the alias packet_generic.

Code Review

This pull request re-exports netlink_packet_core and netlink_packet_generic from the top level of the crate, aliasing them to packet_core and packet_generic respectively. This is a good API improvement. However, the renaming of the netlink_packet_generic re-export is a breaking change. I've left a suggestion to make this non-breaking by deprecating the old name. Also, note that the pull request title seems to contain a typo ('as rtnetlink').

[gemini-code-assist]

This re-export is a breaking change, as it renames netlink_packet_generic to packet_generic. While breaking changes are acceptable for a 0.x version, it would be more user-friendly to deprecate the old name instead of removing it outright. This would give users a transition period.

You could consider keeping the old re-export with a deprecated attribute while introducing the new one.
