Bug#471834: proposition to split /etc/network/interfaces
Package: netbase Version: 4.29 Severity: wishlist I would like to RFC about splitting /etc/network/interfaces to several files ie. one file for each interface. Something like /etc/network/interfaces.d/ with files eth0, wlan0, ppp0, etc. That would make easier to maintain machines with several (or even hundreds) of interfaces which is quite common in big environments. I doubt it's good goal for lenny release, but maybe it would be possible to make it happen between lenny+1? Any comments on that? regards fEnIo -- ,''`.

reopen 471834 reassign 471834 ifupdown thanks On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 02:24:23PM +, Debian Bug Tracking System wrote: I would like to RFC about splitting /etc/network/interfaces to several files ie. one file for each interface. I would not like this. Anyway, you need to talk to the ifupdown maintainers, it's not my package. So you should reassign that bug instead of closing it imediatelly. That would make easier to maintain machines with several (or even hundreds) of interfaces which is quite common in big environments. I maintain hundred of interfaces pretty well even in a single file. I'm not asking to totally abandon the way it is handled now, but as a another possibility. You won't convince me that moving some IP from one machine to another wouldn't be easier with splitted interfaces. And such operation is quite usual at least in environment I have to work in. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.

You should look at the netconf project: http://netconf.alioth.debian.org/ It should solve lots of network configuration issues if it completes. regards, Vincent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
