Hi,

  Version         : 0.11.3

  Description     : network device manager compatible with ifupdown

ifupdown-ng is a network device manager which is backwards compatible with
traditional ifup and ifdown as used on Debian and Alpine systems, while
solving many design deficits with the original approach through robust
error handling and the use of a dependency-solver to determine interface
bring-up order.

Unlike ifupdown2 (already in Debian) ifudown-ng's core is written in plain
C with "executors" written in Shell talking to the kernel and system
services, making it quite light yet easy to extend.

I plan on maintaining this package by myself, however I am looking for
a sponsor.
