TT1375 - Wicked Network Management
That's fantastic!
Seems like I've been hearing about wicked for years.
I'd love to see it as the 13.2 killer feature. All by itself we would cause a lot of openSUSE excitement throughout the linux user world.
=== questions
Is it installable in 13.1?
yes, see http://software.opensuse.org/package/wicked network:wicked:master builds a package on every git master commit.
Does it have cli and gui front-ends?
cli at the moment. A gui frontend/applet would be very appreciated. When you'd like to implement one, please subscribe to wicked-devel@opensuse.org.
Is it in factory?
Yes, see url above.
Is yast wicked aware?
Wicked will replace sysconfig-network, that is the ifcfg files used by ifup are it's [currently] primary config file source and yes, there is a yast2, which accepts it as replacement. Please see https://github.com/yast/yast-network/pull/119
Is it an option as default for 13.2?
It will replace sysconfig-network, that is: yes.
You can choose between wicked and NetworkManager in same way
as you can choose between sysconfig/ifup and NetworkManager.
