Public bug reported:
we have several custom networking scripts, and find it would be easiest
to handle them with a custom "method" in "/etc/network/interfaces" .
we can't just add scripts to if-up.d, because we need strong ordering of
command execution. examples would be adding macvlans, and ip tunnels.
for example, we need pre-up in "/etc/network/interfaces" to run before
ANY other scripts , because we do an ip link creation there. there are
builtin "methods" which cover some of the functionality we want, but
clearly this doesn't scale like a plugin based architecture would.
unfortunately, there is no easy way to plug in a custom method for
handling these networking stanzas. thus, we have to write stuff like
this for each interface.
auto vmac-ha
iface vmac-ha inet manual
[ NORMAL ENTRIES ]
pre-up my-vmac-helper
up my-vmac-helper
down my-vmac-helper
post-down my-vmac-helper
it would be MUCH easier to have something like this
auto vmac-ha
iface vmac-ha inet custom my-vmac-helper
[ NORMAL ENTRIES ]
