The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: XML::Debian::ENetInterfaces
DSLIP: bdpfp
description: Convert to/from XML&/etc/network/interfaces.
userid: CHEAKO (Mike Mestnik)
chapterid: 16 (Server_and_Daemon_Utilities)
communities:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/06/threads.html#00001
similar:
rationale:
XML-Debian is much like the name used by Parse-Debian-Packages. As
this file contains several types of objects the iterator approach
was unpractical. Debian because ifup/ifdown scripts are so
generically named that this is likely to clash with some other OS's
interface to interface control.
ENetInterfaces is short for /etc/network/interfaces. I don't fell
confident simply calling the module Interfaces as that could be a
module that parses the output of ifconfig or similar. I believe that
this name uniquely identifies the file it operates on while still
being short enough to type 100 times fast.
I don't mean to sound contradictory but I'm new and the
"rootnamespace XML doesn't match chapter" thing just screamed at me.
This is a Server Utility or Operating System Interface(depending on
what one considers an Operating System) If that wouldn't belong
under XML, I'm willing to take suggestions. However this is where I
feel it should go as this format is used by other OSes.
