Package: vzctl
Version: 3.0.22-14
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
``/etc/vz/dists/scripts/debian-add_ip.sh`` generates the virtual machine's
``/etc/network/interfaces`` by appending virtual interface configuration to the
VM's ``/etc/network/interfaces.template``. Besides the name being quite
misleading (it's not a template at all), there are serious problems if one just
wants to enable an additional interface *after* the other ones (e.g. for
setting a new alias on ``venet0`` for private communication with the host).
The attached patch enables the use of ``/etc/network/interfaces.head`` as well
as ``/etc/network/interfaces.tail``. The first one is appended to the
resulting ``interfaces`` file *before* the virtual interface info (and before
the so-called "template"), and the second one is appended at the end.
Thanks!
