Dear FTP-Masters, Ifupdown is becoming an increasing maintenance burden and we need to move our networking stack forward. Alternatives under active development, such as NetworkManager, systemd-networkd and Netplan are used by default in parts of Debian today (e.g. desktop/laptop installations, cloud images). Can you please bump the priority of the "netplan.io" binary package to "standard", to enable this hybrid network stack? It would consist of a common Netplan layer on top of the systemd-networkd or NetworkManager daemons, and would become part of debian-installer "standard system utilities" installations[1], as suggested during the DebConf24 Networking BoF discussions. [2] Find more details on "Why Netplan?" in the Netplan FAQ [3] and my proposal to debian-devel: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/09/msg00240.html Best, Lukas [1] https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/netcfg/-/merge_requests/9 [2] https://debconf24.debconf.org/talks/10-past-present-and-future-of-networking-in-debian/ [3] https://wiki.debian.org/Netplan/FAQ
