Package: lists.debian.org Severity: wishlist Dear listmasters,
please consider creating a new mailing list debian-network. Short Description: Package maintenance and interpackage coordination regarding networks Long Description (generated with AI assistance) This mailing list provides a forum for discussion and coordination of networking-related software in Debian. It is intended for Debian package maintainers, contributors, and experienced users who are interested in the development, packaging, integration, configuration, and maintenance of Debian's networking stack. Topics include network configuration packages, including ifupdown, systemd-networkd, NetworkManager, Netplan etc, as well as software implementing layer-2 and layer-3 networking technologies. Discussions covering VLANs, bridges, bonding, teaming, wireless networking, PPP, VPNs, routing, DHCP, DNS, IPv4, IPv6, multicast, tunnelling, and other networking protocols and services are welcome. The list also covers networking security software, including firewalls, packet filtering, network access control, and related infrastructure. Discussion of associated debugging, monitoring, and diagnostic tools, is encouraged where relevant to Debian. The mailing list mainly serves as a coordination point between maintainers of related packages. Advanced users are welcome to contribute operational experience, seek guidance, and participate in design discussions. Questions from end users about configuring or troubleshooting networking on Debian systems are generally better directed to user support forums such as debian-user. Category: Developers Subscription Policy: open Post Policy: open Web Archive: yes While we are at this, it is probably time to sunset both the debian-firewall and debian-ipv6 lists, probably redirecting the posting address to debian-network. Those two lists are extremely low volume and their topics are fully covered by the broader-targeted debian-network. Even if debian-network doesn't get creaed, sunset of debian-ipv6 and debian-firewall should be considered. Greetings Marc
