# 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.
