To: 154142@bugs.debian.org
This bug has digressed into a policy issue and has no solution to the original problem.
Is
this still an active consideration, or is etherconf and the debconf
management that it provided for ethernet interfaces dead and gone?
Personally, I found it to be a great tool as the debconf
interface is easily scriptable and simplifies the automated management
of IP interfaces.
Am I to assume that my installations will now consist of an extra:
apt-get install dchp-client dhcp3-client-
dpkg -i etherconf
That seems pretty hokey. Surely there can be a solution to pull this back into sid?
No one mentioned an etherconf3 package to be compatible with dhcp3-client. Is that an option?
Thanks, Bruce
