Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.8
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu lucid ubuntu-patch

Hi AJ, Petter,

I've just added a patch to ifupdown in Ubuntu that does the following:

  * Add a new query interface, 'ifquery', that can be used by upstart hooks
    to ask for the list of possible interfaces that they might need to bring
    up.

This is being added specifically in support of bridging interfaces: bridges
need to be brought up after the underlying physical port is available, but
the only way to know this is done in an event-driven manner is, for each
physical port when it becomes available, to check whether there are any
bridges that reference it.

I think this is a useful thing for ifupdown to support in general, so am
submitting it for inclusion in Debian.  If you think this should be
implemented differently, let me know and I can look at amending it.

Cheers,

Subject: any plans to apply this patch?

Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:14:50 +0200

Hi!

I'm the maintainer of bridge-utils and I find that this patch would indeed
solve the problem of adding hotplug interfaces to a bridge.

I'm wondering if there are any plans to add this to ifupdown in the future
or if this patch or feature is not well seen by current ifupdown
maintainers.

Regards...

Yes, I think it's a good idea, but I think I need to rework the patch a
bit... I'll notify you as soon as I get anything on this.

Any news on this? If you have any patch or anything you want me to test
please drop me a note.

I'm already running experimental version of ifupdown but there doesn't seem
to be anything related to this bug in there yet :-(

I see you got a new beta version out but I see no sign of #568479 on its

I'd like to implement what has taken us to this bug on bridge-utils for
wheezy and I don't want to do it too on the end-line, so if you nee
something just tell me.

Subject: ifupdown: updated ifquery patch for 0.7

Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:45:41 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello!

I've updated the patch for the ifquery support to (hopefully, unless I
screwed up with Mercurial) apply against the 0.7 (default) branch of ifupdown.

I've only included the ifupdown.nw changes in the patch, since the rest
is generated on build.

Please see attached file.

Changes: 
 ifupdown (0.7~rc1+experimental) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * Prefer isc-dhcp-client to dhcp3-client (also closes: #422885).
   * Let dhclient fail when no lease can be acquired (Closes: #420784).
   * Raise command-line options priority over /etc/network/interfaces
     (Closes: #657743).
   * Prevent aliases and VLANs from putting the main interface down
     (Closes: #656270).
   * Make iproute2 calculate the broadcast address (LP: #924880).
   * Shut udhcpc down correctly (Closes: #338348).
   * Update the rules according to /run migration.
   * Pass hardening flags from dpkg-buildflags (Closes: #661243).
   * Implement ifquery interface (Closes: #568479).
     - Make ifquery process mappings (LP: #850166).
     - Ensure ifquery always has no_act turned on.
   * Change --all behaviour:
     - If ifup or ifquery is called with the --all option, if doesn't just
       bring up all interfaces marked as "auto", but all interfaces of a
       specified class, "auto" by default. For the most uses, this doesn't
       change anything, but lets all the interfaces of a specific class to be
       brought up or queried.
   * Support cross-compilation, move Debian-specific things out of
     the Makefile (Closes: #666084).
   * Take networking init script over from netbase package.
     - Add reload action which reconfigures all interfaces currently
       configured.
     - Add LSB Description field.
     - Remove /usr from PATH.
     - Merge ifupdown initscript in.
     - Improve warning messages.
     - Don't use redirection hacks when parsing /proc/mounts and /proc/swap.
     - Document all supported subcommands.
     - On start, try to configure hotplug interfaces if they seem to be ready.
       Ignore errors if they fail to configure for some reason (for example,
       if the interface happens to be renamed by udev before it's fully
       configured).
     - Override Lintian's false positives.
   * Remove /etc/default/ifupdown.
   * Call hook scripts when processing all interfaces:
     - If ifupdown is called with the --all option, before or after doing
       anything to the interfaces, it calls all the hook scripts (pre-up or
       down) with IFACE set to "--all", LOGICAL set to the current class
       specified by the --allow option (or "auto" if it's not set),
       ADDRFAM="meta" and METHOD="none".
   * Fix IPv6 issue on kFreeBSD.
   * Update test suite.
   * Improve manual pages.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3.
   * Also closes: #535226:
     - In 0.7~alpha5, "auto" method has been added.
