Hello,
As some may already have noticed, the new ifupdown revision, 0.7~alpha4
entered experimental, and is successfully built at least on i386 and
amd64.
This was made possible by Roger Leigh's help and submitters of patches
that were kindly stored at the BTS. Of course, the most of work was
done by the initial author, Anthony Towns.
The most important change is, of course, the migration to /run
directory. Also, ifupdown has now better support for IPv6, and doesn't
depend on net-tools any more.
Please test it extensively and report any new issues, as well as not
fixed or not completely fixed old ones.
Here's the complete changes list:
* New maintainer.
