Hello, Few moments ago ifupdown 0.7~beta2 entered experimental.
This release, amongst others, fixes this bug: <http://bugs.debian.org/477650>. The change makes ifupdown to put interfaces down in the reverse order that they were brought up. If your /e/n/interfaces file relies on the behaviour of ifupdown in this regard, please consider changing your configuration. Second change may be important for maintainers of other packages using /e/n/if-*.d hook system. Before 0.7~beta2, commands specified in /e/n/interfaces were always executed before the scripts placed in the directories in question. Now, on ifdown, scripts are called first, and then user-configured options from /e/n/interfaces are executed. Please consider this if you package or system depends on the order of execution. Third thing is that now it is possible for ifdown to detect a running instance of ifup for the same interface and terminate it; in fact, that's actually done. Also, any processes started by ifup will be killed as well. Please test and report any bugs you find. Thanks. -- WBR, Andrew
