Which I really appreciate but realistically for Ubuntu 12.04, all these fixes would need to be in the archive before Feature Freeze so we can consider turning on biosdevname by default. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that if these issues get fixed in time for Feature Freeze, we'll automatically turn biosdevname on, I'm just saying, that we could then have the discussion on whether we want the feature or not for 12.04. I tend to agree with Martin, that this would cause confusion and likely break much more than our distro packages and scripts. This really should have been discussed at UDS rather than showing up so late in the development cycle. To be safe, I'd much prefer having DELL and other interested users of the feature help get these networking scripts fixed during the rest of the cycle (as long as they are still considered bugfixes) and have a session at UDS in Oakland on biosdevname and turning it on by default. This should allow Dell and other interested manufacturers and users to have something working in 12.04 by manually installing biosdevname on their system and in their custom builds while not risking regressions for the rest of our users. - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPLxv5AAoJEMY4l01keS1n09AP/jpwUzvuYSVtznsm+4SFBcYT pBMl6J5HUT8sefCHeBBQGEnjMZR2UdCbYUgh/e6LZ2vH9vBRvJrwFgIg4M2tC6ga XMQ6uN8QLUGnemznra8AIYndNU+vHR2VI14M9zWpG4y8qZ0wMHeXnxltERRK9xaL eDhKlpZlAHuaZEASKDjQ/uUzjYl0JNMb3F2BLsCHTq8WV5OWpDUgzvWknW1TO6qS tY34vbOKGXcsQORjeKuN50Q/K6CNZVGSg9x99TlZ5reoO1mQvFyGqbk+J4wB48Gt Bf33McOYg4INshC+KlxzagZMPv3RwXrP06jiR+tl0oDK9nmDObs+gFlgIX34dGMY 3n6c4I1kwQevwnQlfFhSgY/0EbFvL6GvLRN5eu2A3fdAd1DzeXYiXWTf0Zbtjcfz a+E3ZsYUt1+ZGYCUyK26WMLhz3whZPKvLV73qhlw1SX3n6LX54/K0KOBDp5T7Sd2 LyXCd/WTUPOb+2q15WDANc7wZzTaHHp4WZKe7dVdgWSSvfyYaKkPW/c7dihFulK2 1KoFUj+KdyD0mdn6NlaCNNlO2tinELtg7hDfujTQh2ExP9wtceWnSC5CciD2b7Kb Om9kpLxrS7zSzaF/b2l0WxwGeqPXcAYB9gukIlsaAZw0ldrIrka5lNSH670Pj3sF 3XjHX2Uf8U0cowiFEPw6 =Neqp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
