Package: uml-utilities Version: 20040406-1 Severity: normal
I am doing a lot of network testing and require multiple virtual networks created for my UML's. This is a request to improve the uml-utilities package to support multiple uml_switch devices. I have already altered the init script and it suits my needs. I have attached the init.d script and defaults file. They are also available here: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/debian/uml/utilities/ Feel free to use these in enhancing uml-utilities, but note that the new fields in the defaults file will break backwards compatibility. I am not sure what is the best way to handle that. Alternatively starting the switch daemon could be done via the /etc/network/if-up.d/uml-utilities script. Cheers! -Bart PS: I am aware I am running Ubuntu, however this is a "feature request" that will benefit the Debian package as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers dapper APT policy: (800, 'dapper'), (600, 'breezy'), (2, 'dapper-updates'), (2, 'dapper-security'), (2, 'breezy-updates'), (2, 'breezy-security') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-xenon64.4 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages uml-utilities depends on: ii adduser 3.80ubuntu2 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1ubuntu3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline4 4.3-18 GNU readline and history libraries ii makedev 2.3.1-79ubuntu1 creates device files in /dev uml-utilities recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
