Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.43
Severity: minor
in interfaces(5), it says (twice):
privext int
Privacy extensions (RFC3041) (0=off, 1=assign, 2=prefer)
But RFC 3041 is considered obsolete by the IETF, with RFC 4941
superceding it.
The significant changes between RFC 3041 and 4941 are enumerated in
RFC 4941 itself:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941#section-8
Unless there is reason to believe that the ifupdown configuration (or
the kernel) doesn't support RFC 4941, please update the reference in
the man page to use the non-obsolete RFC.
Thanks for maintaining ifupdown in debian!
Regards,
