I wonder what amount of features we are missing for network-manager to do the job; instead of rewriting a daemon from scratch, we might as well use one that was designed mostly for the same purpose. It’s event-driven, it’s extensible, and its features list is already impressive. Although it has some bugs remaining to fix, this would also be the case of the new implementation. The primary drawback I see is that some people object to having D-Bus installed on their systems. But should we manage to get NM being the default, we could keep ifupdown in the archive to manage trivial setups with less disk/memory usage; just as an optional replacement. -- .''`. : :' : “You would need to ask a lawyer if you don't know `. `' that a handshake of course makes a valid contract.” `- -- J???rg Schilling -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
