I have tagged version 0.8 of netctl and based on Florians usual response times, it will hit [testing] soon.
If no major bugs pop up in the coming week (or two), I would like this to be the first version to make it to [core].
I don't see any bugs on the tracker. Good to move?
I am very happy with this one. Lets move! Don't forget that openresolv needs to move as well if we aim for [core] (which I think we do). When will we drop netfg? No one has expressed any interest in maintaining it.
CC'ed arch-dev-public for comments on the news draft below:
I've got a small thing to add, as people tend to overlook wifi-menu. The updated version (one added sentence) is below. Thanks all, - Jouke
---netctl is now in [core]--- Meet netctl: a profile based networking CLI using systemd. In the near future, the old netcfg will be removed from [core]. Anyone using it is urged to move to netctl. Migration is a manual process during which you might not have access to the Internet, so take care and read the man pages (netctl(1), netctl.profile(5) and netctl.special(7)).
The design of netctl is so that systemd enthusiasts will appreciate its usage and netcfg users will be familiar with its profile files.
As you install netctl, netcfg will be removed, but the enabled systemd services will remain until manually disabled. The [wiki:netctl wiki] holds some additional information on migrating from netcfg. ------

Shipped with netctl comes a ncurses-based wifi connection assistant called wifi-menu.
