Hi,
networking has always been an important part of building a Linux
distribution, and nowadays in the world of VMs and containers and many
different ways to bring up a network this is a constant cause of
friction between packages. the different ways of building firewalls
plays a big role.
otoh, we do not have a general mailing list for network issues. We have
debian-ipv6 and debian-firewall, the latter not having had ontopic
traffic since 2022.
Should we have a debian-network mailing list? Or is the networking topic
so important that network issues should be discussed on debian-devel
proper?
Independently of this decision, is it time now to sunset the debian-ipv6
and the debian-firewall mailing list due to the low traffic? Both ipv6
and firewalls are no longer a corner topic inside networking, both
topics have become intrinsic part of networking in Linux.
What do we do?
Greetings
Marc
