Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.7.47.2
Severity: wishlist
When setting up failover using multiple interfaces the output of IF_
variables are confusing.
My suggestion is to add the interface name (either real or logical, but
preferably logical) to that variable, making it easier to use with scripts.
As an example, currently it shows IF_ADDRESS=192.168.1.10 and
IF_ADDRESS=10.0.0.5
Now with the interface name: IF_eth0_ADDRESS=192.168.1.10 and
IF_eth1_ADDRESS=10.0.0.5
I've tried to patch set_environ() in execute.c myself like this:
*(environend++) = setlocalenv("IF_%s_%s=%s",
iface->logical_iface, iface->option[i].name,
iface->option[i].value ? iface->option[i].value : "");
*environend = NULL;
but I don't know C enough to rework setlocalenv() function to accept
this extra parameter.
From my point of view, this change is probably harmless.
Best regards,
Flavio
