Hello,
I continue to test augeas and I just see today that the syntax is not
correct when we add a comment in the same line than the "iface". At the
startup networking return the following error : "too many parameters for
iface line" (in Debian Lenny).
So we can remove the comment for the iface or add this comment before,
but maybe the comment in option is sufficient.
I just see another problem in the lense ; it force an option in the
iface and for example the line "iface lo inet loopback" is correct and
doesn't need any option.
So for me the correct way to build a iface is:
let iface = [ stanza_id "iface"
. stanza_param "family"
. stanza_param "method" . eol
. (stanza_option|comment|empty)* ]
Best regards,
Nicolas.

Just for the record: what version of Augeas are you using ? And what
platform ?
I'm using the package from Debian testing (0.4.0).
- If I use the following code:
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1] lo
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/family inet
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/method loopback

I have the folling error and the interfaces files is not generate :
/usr/share/augeas/lenses/interfaces.aug:76.16-80.67:Short split for
concat

Yeah, that's an error in the lens since it makes a comment after the
interface mandatory; I'll look into fixing that.
I have to add a command to generate the files, it's not a very
important error but when we see the lences it seems that the comment
is optionnal.
It absolutely should be
- My second problem is also with comment,
With the following code:
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1] lo
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/family inet
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/method loopback
augtool> set /files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/#comment lo
augtool> save
Saved 1 file(s)
It generate the following file:
iface lo inet loopback# lo
Yeah, that's a problem with comment - it accepts whitespace before the
'#' when it parses, but when you write a completely new node out, it
doesn't add a comment.
To fix that, we probably have to distinguish between a comment that's an
entire line (in which case we don't want a space before the '#' by
default) and an end-of-line comment where we do want that.
ok. Thanks for your answer, if I have something pretty to fix this I
just let you know.
David
