[$] Debating ifupdown replacements for Debian trixie

Date:
Thu, 12 Sep 2024 15:55:50 +0000

Description:
Debian does not have an official way to configure
networking. Instead, it has four recommended ways to configure networking, 
one of which is the
venerable ifupdown , which
has part of Debian since the turn of the century and is showing its
age. A conversation about its maintainability and possible replacement with 
ifupdownng has
led to discussions about the default network-management tools for
Debian " trixie "
(Debian 13, which expected in 2025) and beyond. No route to consensus
has been found, yet.
