Yeah, that's what I am hoping to do. Moreover, I want it to be cross-distro from the start. I would thus appreciate if you spread the word within RedHat and Fedora. We'd love to have people from other distros join! > I am not sure how much of an effort wrangling with existing > network-related config files is; I assume there's a good bit of > that.

The way netconf handles existing configuration is via plugins. I've already implemented the Debian plugin, which reads /etc/network/interfaces, and I thought that other distros would provide their own plugins. Netconf will also get a new configuration paradigm, following the 1.0 release, where I hope to cooperate with Gentoo, Fedora, etc. to get all the good ideas and put them into a consistent format specification, which does everything you can think of and still remains flexible. I've CC'd the list on this reply to keep your link in the archives. We're on a tight schedule to implement the roadmap in time for the 1.0 release in August. I don't think Augeas will be considered for 1.0. I hope you understand. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems a friend is someone with whom you can dare to be yourself
