retitle 296115 ifupdown: port to non-linux platforms (kfreebsd / hurd) found 296115 0.7~alpha3 thanks
Hello Michael! I just ran into bug #296115 where you supplied a patch for ifupdown on non-linux platforms a long time ago. Is there any chance you are still interested in working on this? Version 0.7 of ifupdown, available in experimental, has been ported to use iproute2 commands on linux. Since iproute2 is a linux-specific tool (by using rtnetlink to communicating with the kernel), other architectures now really needs to provide their own .defn files in ifupdown to work. (These are the files that contains the commands needed for each /etc/network/interfaces action.) This is one of the last remaining issues for the experimental version of ifupdown before it can enter unstable as far as I know. It would be great if you where willing to work on this and I would be happy to assist with what little ifupdown knowledge I have to help along the way! -- Regards, Andreas Henriksson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
