I've checked the squeeze version of ifupdown, and it doesn't seem to support that directive. So calling it supported "since very long" is probably a bit far fetched. It was complete news to me tbh. > ifupdown to add that support), so anyone can split their network config > into small chucks and place them under /etc/network/interfaces.d — it's > not done by default, however, yet. Please keep in mind that such a setup will break existing tools and scripts, which rely on finding the interface definitions in /e/n/i. E.g. the ifupdown plugin in NetworkManager doesn't know anything about such a source directive. If you are going to use such a interfaces.d/ directory this will break the NM integration. > I'd like to hear opinions on this idea. > > The current version of the patch is attached. Imho it is far too late in the release to consider such a change for wheezy as this has effects on d-i other tools in the archive (as shown above).
