Hi,

What do we need to do to get the fix merged?
The only important stuff is in scripts*.d/{{m}vlan,ip} from 2010
The remainder can be removed.
The mvlan scripts needs to be upped to not use mvconfig anymore.
vconfig needs to be removed, but somehow I still see new bugs using
vconfig...
The 1.9-5 release has been tested on a large testbed (300+ servers) and
at home.
In a response on:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=824535
I have explained how to not use the vlan package and actually use ip
link set, as the difference is a single pre-up line.
But in order of importance:
ip is the most important, as it allows to set things in the procfs
(ip-proxy-arp=1 for instance). Unfortunately some things can only be set
when the device is up, and some only when it's down.
vlan is just the ip link add... replacement
mvlan is just the ip link add ... replacement
Same goes for bridge-utils, as brctl is obsolete and vconfig has been
for 10 years, mvconfig (1.9-5 release) has been obsolete for 4 years I
think.
Anyway:
the current 2.0 version is not in git.
