Public bug reported: netplan 0.35 would include an additional command:
netplan try This would be used to allow users to automatically attempt to apply any config that can be safely programmatically revert in the case of failure, and presenting the user with a prompt to acknowledge the changes. The prompt is intended as a way to ensure the user still has access to the system when the settings are applied. In the event the user can't approve the changes, they are backed out after a timeout (120 seconds by default to give the network time to converge). Settings that can't be backed out are limited to custom bridge and bond settings that tweak behavior of these devices, since networkd does not necessarily update these settings when bond devices are changed (only when they are being created). 'netplan try' is already available as a separate tree in git: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/netplan/pull/15/files This FFE is to make sure the community is aware of these changes so late in the cycle, and to ensure those are acceptable to land right now, being leaf changes, fully covered by unit tests and autopkgtests (along with manual testing). Only users consciously making the decision to use the command would run into this code path. The changes are limited to some terminal mangling to allow for the prompt and timeout; everything else is handled directly in the existing 'netplan apply' code with minimal change to allow this code to be executed from another "command". This FFE request seeks pre-approval before merging the "try-command" branch that incldues this new feature into netplan master to proceed with the release of netplan 0.35. ** Affects: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764824 Title: [FFE] 'netplan try' feature in netplan 0.35 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netplan.io/+bug/1764824/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
