Bug#1003796: ITP: ifupdown-ng -- network device manager compatible with ifupdown



Hi Thomas,

I've been working on the ifupdown-ng packaging today. I had a look at your
existing git repo and did incorporate most of the debian/ files from that
but decided to start the repo from scratch. The main reason being that I
don't feel the gbp-import-ref workflow is quite ready yet so while I would
prefer basing Debian packaging on the upstream git repo as you've done it
just causes more friction right now in my experience.

Could you add me to the debian/ifupdown-ng repo so I can push my work
there? In the meantime the repo is here:

    https://salsa.debian.org/dxld-guest/ifupdown-ng/

One significant thing I noticed is that you seem to have Depends
specifically for kfreebsd and hurd which I haven't dealt with yet. Did you
test this stuff on those systems?

Hurd still seems to be available as d-i/bootable images at[1] but I'm
having trouble finding any way to even install a Debian/kFreeBSD system for
bullseye. I suspect I should at least lightly test this stuff there if
we're going to have (seemingly) explicit support for those systems.

Ordinarily I would think we could just go and get access porterbox for
these arches but since I need to play with networking stuff for testing the
porterboxes are likely not going to be much help.
