I intend to orphan the vlan package. With today’s uploads, I finally have removed the old vconfig binary replacing it with a shell script that runs ip(8). I don’t think much maintenance will ever be needed for it, but I think it’s better to stop pretending anyone actually *really* maintains the package, and maybe someone will take it over once it’s obvious it’s been like that for some time. I talked to Ard, and he agrees orphaning this package is an appropriate move. The package description is: This package contains the user mode programs you need to add and remove VLAN devices from your ethernet devices. . A typical application for a VLAN enabled box is a single wire firewall, router or load balancer. . You need a VLAN Linux kernel for this. Linux kernel versions >= 2.4.14 have VLAN support.
