It seems like it would be cleaner to have all the configuration in one place, no? * would you consider submitting these changes to ifupdown in the debian BTS? Is there a reason that they should remain in your PPA? fwiw, some of us do also run debian systems without ifupdown these days. I'm looking forward to systemd-networkd integration personally :) --dkg --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEOCdgUepHf6PklTkyFJitxsGSMjcFAllj758ACgkQFJitxsGS MjdXxw/+MKoYgsNUQWErHO3N/gjC51oTzoPj6gmEdn70wTmora5CcGecgz2rP9qr AW3R7TmYGaM6HuJflWQAMhJCXDxiviOcFd/OOYaQtrVj9sCtc006Gid33sX2AKcp Aob9sp7SPRuUqpAauQWoFS8j2aIY8X4TWgGBZxxa+MoWKAUz0MpQnMBpal6l3buM Eo7CVS6dZUal0VBGi3ATZPgGiMGzwGOxBvr+ZYpwFU5Cr2pBEGfON00o8lCpGEmq LQGdZwBaU5zo+YHmbz9lerIgQ7GkTxm/kg85mT8kVpRU+mKgD0ye6FNK2YWV2UeM aUcCOmL0RjvMQnZvFw5edrleeNF8K8eShv+KRBauo7zrQ5g846/X0iALePAj2g6d d2MvIFNLHlO/4KnpPRxZP0LXvH7g73ooRj5kVBzOQeq9UNw0yuLMLOyqjQHxeSEZ pVEIBDOlDNuYnkr0H7b+e7s8yKY/7AskRJtlkEAyiftQtsrEpSr1NyD84INRtDPQ qqxyuQMTMU1Of6SCnNyINxF/p/pPBCV0BPB1rN4alKBuOMuyRMAunNp6G1zCSrg2 QTf5vSck18Rir0D4wRinvsyurdVwTGaFSea+1IxoaOtaAkH18yR9f9jmwdrS3eJd mQLxWZNShR2gNNIX+KwjH28s5zE+yXNe/34ybCvGtNGBGUC9+ek= =LjcR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
