ifupdown-ng
This package is a work in progress implementation of the ifupdown suite. It is intended to be largely compatible with ifupdown and ifupdown2, with some caveats:
-
ifupdown2 python plugins are not supported at this time. An executor could be written to handle them.
-
ifupdown-ng uses a SAT solver to determine interface bring-up order, like ifupdown2. However, relationships must be explicitly defined instead of inferred by plugins in ifupdown2. This simplifies the executors and ensures consistent behaviour across executors.
-
ifupdown-ng retains compatibility with /etc/network/if-X.d scripts, but will prefer using executors in /usr/libexec/ifupdown-ng where appropriate.
This package is planned to replace BusyBox ifupdown in Alpine at some point in the future.
