121 [Javier Fernandez-Sanguino]
122 - Added a generic --exclude option (modified ifupdown.nw and ifup.8)
123 This way other scripts (such as /e/i/networking in netbase)
124 can avoid bringing down 'lo' on shutdown doing: 'ifdown -e lo -a'
125 This will help close #254705, #256680 and #208700.
126 - Make it conflict with the dch-client version from experimental
127 (Closes: #242537, #242527)
128 - Added usage examples provided by Thomas Hood (Closes: #247772)
130 + Updated catalan debconf templates provided by Aleix Badia i Bosch
132 + Included Lithuanian translation of debconf templates provided
133 by Gintautas Miliauskas (Closes: #249233)
134 - /etc/init.d/ifupdown: Exit with error if called with unknown arguments
135 - ifupdown.nw: fix FTBFS with gcc-3.4 (Closes: #258965)
136 - ifup.8: ammended manpage describing how ifdown really works
138 - Remove XSI:isms in several scripts (Closes: #255574)
139 - debian/po/POTFILES.in: point to templates.master instead of templates
142 + Build-Depend on version of debhelper with dh_installinit --name
143 + Put dhcp3-client before dhcp-client in disjunctive dependency
145 - Add /etc/default/ifupdown (currently not used, will be in the
147 - /etc/init.d/ifupdown:
148 + Creates target of /etc/network/run if the latter is a dangling
149 symlink. Thanks to AJT for good discussion. (Closes: #242607)
150 + Delete ifstate on stop (Closes: #245067)
151 - /etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean
152 + Delete ifstate on stop (Closes: #245067)
154 + Now use dh_installdebconf to install debconf stuff
155 + Install new ifupdown-clean initscript. It runs at S:S18.
156 + ifupdown initscript now runs at 0,6:S36 as well as S:S39.
157 Note: this will only apply to new installations (not to upgrades)
159 + Move the contributed scripts to contrib/

188 ifupdown (0.6.4-4.7) unstable; urgency=low
190 * Non-maintainer upload. This is mostly a bug-fix release, no new
191 features have been added and the behaviour of ifupdown has only changed
192 slightly. Content has been reviewed by both the maintainer and several
193 other maintainers (who have NMUed this package previously)
194 - Ifupdown.dvi now depends on *eps files (Closes: #101204)
195 - Added missing Build-Dep to noweb since the Makefile calls makenwdep.sh
196 (and it calls 'noroots') on build.
197 - Remove the undocumented (and unused) -s option from the manpage and the
198 main.c code. (Closes: #231404)
200 + Make it possible to run an v4tunnel without an address (Closes: #96265)
202 + Included different handling of dhclient3 versus dhclient.
203 + Avoids inconsistency in interface state if the command run
204 by ifup fails, also added -e option to dhclient in order to
205 have it return an error if it cannot get an address.
206 Notice that this is not yet done with dhclient3 (-1) since that would
207 mean not running dhclient3 as a daemon and renews not being done.
208 (Closes: #97782, #82339, #113338, #148666, #169194)
209 + An independent lease file is created per interface so that dhclient
210 can be used in more than one interface (Closes: #196366)
211 + If dhcp3-client is installed (the binary /sbin/dhclient3 is available)
212 then use the -r option instead of with a KILL signal, this enables
213 it to release the DHCP release an execute the hook script before
214 exiting. Also, the package now suggests 'dhcp-client | dhcp3-client'
215 (since dhcp3-client does not provide dhcp-client as pump does)
217 + Added a metric option for routes, notice, however, the dhclient's
218 -e (undocumented) option is not included from the provided patch.
220 + Use -r instead of -k when DHCP interfaces using pump are downed in
221 order to avoid killing all interfaces (only release the one asked for)
223 + Properly implement the 'hw' option in interfaces by defining the
224 hardware address before upping the interface.
225 (Closes: #224468, #84602)
226 + Allow setting of the hw address in the dhcp method as suggested.
229 + Added an example in the interfaces file on how to setup an interface
230 with multiple IP addresses. I've added a warning, though, since this
231 is expected not to work in some cases and might generate inconsistencies
232 between the real state and the one noted down in the interfaces state
233 file. It is worth documenting this option (with known caveats) rather
234 than have users figure it out for themselves.
236 + Added sample scripts ('ensureifup' and 'ifstate') to ensure that
237 interfaces are always up (might be useful for crappy ISP providers)
238 as provided by Yann Dirson (Closes: #86902)
239 + Provide a 'generate-interfaces.pl' script under the examples dir
240 in order to facilitate migration of network configuration in
241 pre-woody systems. This script might also be useful to migrate other
242 Linux systems to Debian.
244 + Added a sample 'ifstate-complex' command. Since it is not documented
245 I'm adding it to the examples and not closing #153222 with it (yet)
246 + Fixed a syntax error in the 'check-mac-address.sh' script and added
247 both a little bit of comment code and proper usage.
248 + Provided an example on how to setup an interface without IP address
249 using the 'manual' method. This is suitable for some cases where we
250 only want to have the interface to be up. This example can be used
251 to setup PPPOE interfaces or network IDS listening on a network.
252 This might not be as good as providing a specific method but the
253 maintainer considers that this is the way it should be handled.
254 (Closes: #76142, #92993, #129003, #164823, #171981)
255 + Also, provided an example bridge configuration script that can
256 be setup in /e/n/if-{pre-up,down}.d/ in order to setup bridges.
258 + Slight improvement in to better describe mapping and point to
259 the examples available. (Closes: #232594)
260 + Minor changes in the manpage to avoid people being misled .
262 + Better description of mappings (Closes: #216716)
263 + Document IFACE=LIFACE syntax (Closes: #213068)
264 + Documented known bugs or limitations.
265 + Reference the location of the network examples.
266 + Reference also the "Debian Reference" manual since it is more
267 verbose in how /e/n/interfaces and ifupdown works.
269 + Document that the -a option will take down all interfaces.
271 + Also describe in which order are interfaces started/stopped when
272 using -a which might avoid confusion, see #208700 for example.
273 + Changed manpage name to ifup (instead of ifupdown).
275 + Document known bugs in the manpage: state maintained is sometimes
276 lost, the ifstate needs to be writable and there is a known deadlock
278 + Document known "limitations" and refer readers to alternatives to
279 monitor interface changes such as ifupd and hotplug.
280 + Minor formatting changes and rewrites for better comprehension.
282 + Added Spanish debconf translation provided by Carlos Valdivia.
284 + Added Japanese debconf translation provided by Kenshi Muto.
286 + Added Dutch debconf translation provided by Tim Dijkstra.

540 ifupdown0.6 (0.6.2pr-2) unstable; urgency=low
542 * Note that dhcpcd works with any kernel, not just 2.0 and 2.2.
543 * Remove the "noauto" keyword from the manpage. Ooopsy.
544 * Create /etc/network/if-*.d directories in preinst.
545 * Update the example-etc-network-interfaces to use the auto keyword.

549 ifupdown0.6 (0.6.2pr-1) unstable; urgency=low
551 * New upstream release.
552 * Forward port some fixes from the last .deb that I hadn't put in the
553 upstream source. Whoops.
555 * This is a beta package that doesn't upgrade cleanly from ifupdown. It's
556 for testing purposes only.

562 * debian/rules: Adjusted to *always* build from scratch if noweb is
563 installed, to ensure that the various .c and .defn files are updated
564 wherever possible. This should fix the problem where the updated
565 inet6.defn wasn't being included, even after -2, amongst others.

587 changing what I put in the .orig.tar.gz. (Closes: Bug#68869)
