Hi Michal, Frederic, Stephan! * wicked: We've moved wicked repository to github: https://github.com/openSUSE/wicked where we can better track / discuss pull requests and created two mailing lists: wicked-devel(a)opensuse.org wicked-commit(a)opensuse.org Further, we've created an $OBS/network:wicked[:master] project tree. The master project builds automatically from git master. (Later, we may add another projects like sles-x.y/ opensuse-x.y, ... to build some another branches than master when / if needed). => Michal: Feel free to link yast2-network adopted for wicked there or let is know where to link it from. The openSUSE:Factory devel package will be either in directly in the "network/wicked" or in "network:wicked:factory/wicked". I'd prefer the second... => Stefan, you prefer network, right? We are doing some documentation cleanup (updating obviously outdated things) and would like to make it ASAP [today] and request a submit to factory. After, we would continue to make the "factory-milestone" snapshots bi-weekly [or when/as needed]. Last but not least: wicked-service package installs wicked.service (_or_ sysvinit) and creates network.service alias link. This is also the package which triggers sysconfig-network -> wicked update (see also bellow). * sysconfig split and migration to wicked: The sysconfig > 0.81 packages consists now of: udevmountd, sysconfig, sysconfig-network, sysconfig-netconfig. The sysconfig package contains the following deps: Requires: /sbin/ifup Requires: /sbin/netconfig Requires: sysvinit(network) Requires: udevmountd = %{version} Recommends: sysconfig-network = %{version} the sysconfig-network package has following deps: Requires(pre): sysconfig = %{version} Requires: bridge-utils Requires: iproute2 Requires: procps Requires: tunctl Requires: vlan Requires: /sbin/netconfig Provides: /sbin/ifup Conflicts: otherproviders(/sbin/ifup) So for now [13.1], the user can "zypper in" other /sbin/ifup provider namely wicked-service and trigger migration to wicked, which _kills_ the network services to stop all dhcp clients but keep network up and enables itself, but without to start automaticaly. Further, ifup has been changed to use network(a)ethX.service files due to "[Bug 821879] udev update breaks network", where udevd kills the dhcp client forked out via the hotplug udev rule. The udev hotplug rule still uses RUN+="ifup ..." [to get enviroment], all ifup/ifdown calls are redirected to systemct start/stop now. This means, the dhcp clients are running now in network@ethX cgroup (network@.service/ethX) and are part of network.service. To see instances, use "systemctl show -p ConsistsOf network.service" Installation images are adopted [rescue tested to work] in factory together with all the sysconfig packages. Michal: => please adopt yast2-network as needed & discussed Gruesse / Regards, Marius Tomaschewski <mt(a)suse.de>, <mt(a)suse.com> -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg), GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wicked-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: wicked-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
