ifupdown2
ifupdown2 is a alternate implementation of debian's network interface manager ifupdown.
ifupdown2 provides the required infrastructure to parse, schedule and manage interface configuration. Also provides default python addon modules for network interface configuration.
Note: Previously ifupdown2 came as two packages: python-ifupdown2 and python-ifupdown2-addons. python-ifupdown2-addons contents are now merged into python-ifupdown2 package (python-ifupdown2-addons package is hence deprecated).
Install
dependencies
To install the mandatory dependencies please execute the following command:
apt-get install python-ipaddr
apt-get install python-argcomplete

apt-get install bridge-utils
apt-get install ethtool
debian & Ubuntu
To get our lastest version that is available on the debian repositories for your current OS just type
apt-get install ifupdown2
Ubuntu users (anything bellow version Artful)
We highly recommend that you build your own debs or WGET a deb from the debian repo as we have trouble backporting our latest fixes and features in Zesty, Xenial and bellow.
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/ifupdown2/ifupdown2_1.0~git20170314-1_all.deb
dpkg -i ifupdown2_1.0~git20170314-1_all.deb
build your own deb
If ever the repositories for your OS version doesn't include latest ifupdown2 you can always build your own deb
To buid on Ubuntu and debian you'll some extra packages:
apt-get install build-essential dh-systemd dh-make python-docutils
Then run the following commands:
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -d
On the master branch this simple command should produce a .deb file that you can install using dpkg -i
On the debian-prep2 branch, you'll need to run:
cd /path/to/ifupdown2/source/folder
git archive --format=tar HEAD | xz -9 -c >../ifupdown2_1.0~git20170314.orig.tar.xz && dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -d
Note that the name of the tar archive needs to match the latest version present in the changelog. We usually use the date of the upload to tag a new version. In this previous example it was 20170314
