Ifupdown latest version (0.6.4-4.10) has been out for quite a while (since August) and if includes: translation fixes (#248717, #249233, #247772), documentation fixes (including #259609, #247772, #255218 ) and normal bug fixes (#250713, #245067, #242607, #255228, #121755, #258965, #255574, #242537, #242527 some of which have bitten new installations) and only a new feature [1] (--exclude) intented to help fix #254705, #256680 and #208700 in netbase (quite an easy fix, BTW). I know this package has been frozen but, since this package has been widely tested, and there are no RC bugs, could it be considered a candidate for moving into sarge? If this could be done then a new netbase version (4.20?) could be uploaded to the archive to fix the 'deconfiguring 'lo' on shutdown' issues so that this issue is removed from new installations of sarge... With the new ifupdown version, the fix to the issues above is really simple and implies just a line change in netbase's networking script. Actually, this fix has been tested by a number of people and could be considered quite safe too. Regards Javier [1] Some other major features and bug fixes intended for ifupdown have been moved to the experimental version (0.6.4-4.11exp1)
