Re: Bug#1009713: RFP: netavark -- A container network stack

[Reinhard Tartler <siretart@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,

I've tried to give packaging netavark a shot, but it seems it requires a number of other rust modules, such as rust-iptables, to be packaged. Also, it seems to require a number of existing packages in debian to be upgraded.

I did manage to build it with all modules vendored in, and I'm contemplating moving forward with that approach, mostly out of desperation.

Podman upstream really would like to see podman 4.1 in sid, but nobody is really comfortable running podman 4 without netavark -- too many cool networking features depend on netavark.

Any chance someone could give me a hand with this netavark package?

Podman 4.0 recommends this and its compainion package
'https://github.com/containers/aardvark-dns'.  I'm not familiar with
rust packaging, and would really appreciate if someone would give me a
hand with updating required dependencies and packaging it properly.
