Bug#918013: O: vlan -- user mode programs to enable VLANs on your ethernet devices



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

I intend to orphan the vlan package.

With today’s uploads, I finally have removed the old vconfig binary
replacing it with a shell script that runs ip(8). I don’t think much
maintenance will ever be needed for it, but I think it’s better to stop
pretending anyone actually *really* maintains the package, and maybe
someone will take it over once it’s obvious it’s been like that for some
time.

I talked to Ard, and he agrees orphaning this package is an appropriate
move.

The package description is:
 This package contains the user mode programs you need to add and remove
 VLAN devices from your ethernet devices.
 .
 A typical application for a VLAN enabled box is a single wire firewall,
 router or load balancer.
 .
 You need a VLAN Linux kernel for this.  Linux kernel versions >= 2.4.14
 have VLAN support.
