I find it funny that some people will start flaming as soon as something shows up instead of trying to focus that energy towards fixing bugs and providing patches. Friendly Javi PS: Is there a way you or any others could know I was preparing an NMU before this mail? Probably only if you had mailed aj himself, or if you had been reading some of my comments in #debian-devel

+ifupdown (0.6.4-4.7) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * Non-maintainer upload. This is mostly a bug-fix release, no new
+ features have been added and the behaviour of ifupdown has only changed
+ slightly.
+ - Ifupdown.dvi now depends on *eps files (Closes: #101204)
+ - Added missing Build-Dep to noweb since the Makefile calls makenwdep.sh
+ (and it calls 'noroots') on build.
+ - Remove the undocumented (and unused) -s option from the manpage and the
+ main.c code.
+ (Closes: #231404)
+ - inet6.defn
+ + Make it possible to run an v4tunnel without an address (Closes: #96265)
+ - inet.defn
+ + Included different handling of dhclient3 versus dhclient.
+ + Avoids inconsistency in interface state if the command run
+ by ifup fails, also added -e option to dhclient in order to
+ have it return an error if it cannot get an address.
+ Notice that this is not yet done with dhclient3 (-1) since that would
+ mean not running dhclient3 as a daemon and renews not being done.
+ (Closes: #97782, #82339, #113338, #148666, #169194)
+ + An independent lease file is created per interface so that dhclient
+ can be used in more than one interface (Closes: #196366)
+ + If dhcp3-client is installed (the binary /sbin/dhclient3 is available)
+ then use the -r option instead of with a KILL signal, this enables
+ it to release the DHCP release an execute the hook script before
+ exiting. Also, the package now suggests 'dhcp-client | dhcp3-client'
+ (since dhcp3-client does not provide dhcp-client as pump does)
+ (Closes: #196865)
+ + Added a metric option for routes, notice, however, the dhclient's
+ -e (undocumented) option is not included from the provided patch.
+ (Closes: #235993)
+ + Use -r instead of -k when DHCP interfaces using pump are downed in
+ order to avoid killing all interfaces (only release the one asked for)
+ (Closes: #198841)
+ + Properly implement the 'hw' option in interfaces by defining the
+ hardware address before upping the interface.
+ (Closes: #224468, #84602)
+ + Allow setting of the hw address in the dhcp method as suggested
+ (Closes: #135502)
+ - examples:
+ + Added an example in the interfaces file on how to setup an interface
+ with multiple IP addresses. I've added a warning, though, since this
+ is expected not to work in some cases and might generate inconsistencies
+ between the real state and the one noted down in the interfaces state
+ file. It is worth documenting this option (with known caveats) rather
+ than have users figure it out for themselves.
+ (Closes: #172147)
+ + Added sample scripts ('ensureifup' and 'ifstate') to ensure that
+ interfaces are always up (might be useful for crappy ISP providers)
+ as provided by Yann Dirson (Closes: #86902)
+ + Provide a 'generate-interfaces.pl' script under the examples dir
+ in order to facilitate migration of network configuration in
+ pre-woody systems. This script might also be useful to migrate other
+ Linux systems to Debian.
+ (Closes: #57830)
+ + Added a sample 'ifstate-complex' command. Since it is not documented
+ I'm adding it to the examples and not closing #153222 with it (yet)
+ + Fixed a syntax error in the 'check-mac-address.sh' script and added
+ both a little bit of comment code and proper usage.
+ + Provided an example on how to setup an interface without IP address
+ using the 'manual' method. This is suitable for some cases where we
+ only want to have the interface to be up. This example can be used
+ to setup PPPOE interfaces or network IDS listening on a network.
+ This might not be as good as providing a specific method but the
+ maintainer considers that this is the way it should be handled.
+ Also, provided an example bridge configuration script that can
+ be setup in /e/n/if-{pre-up,down}.d/ in order to setup bridges.
+ (Closes: #76142, #92993, #129003, #164823, #171981)
+ - Interfaces(5).pre:
+ + Slight improvement in to better describe mapping and point to
+ the examples available
+ (Closes: #232594)
+ + Minor change in the manpage to avoid people being misled
+ (Closes: #232347)
+ + Documented known bugs or limitations.
+ + Reference the location of the network examples.
+ + Reference also the "Debian Reference" manual since it is more
+ verbose in how /e/n/interfaces and ifupdown works.
+ - Ifup(8):
+ + Document that the -a option will take down all interfaces.
+ (Closes: #208607)
+ + Also describe in which order are interfaces started/stopped when
+ using -a which might avoid confusion, see #208700 for example.
+ + Changed manpage name to ifup (instead of ifupdown).
+ (Closes: #81150)
+ + Document known bugs in the manpage: state maintained is sometimes
+ lost, the ifstate needs to be writable and there is a known deadlock
+ issue.
+ + Document known "limitations" and refer readers to alternatives to
+ monitor interface changes such as ifupd and hotplug.
+ - Translations:
+ + Added Spanish debconf translation provided by Carlos Valdivia
+ (Closes: #207727)
+ + Added Japanese debconf translation provided by Kenshi Muto
+ (Closes: #210436)
