I have pushed the 2.8.2 tag for netcfg and I think we're in a pretty good shape. If nothing too serious pops up in the next week or two, I suggest moving it to [core].
Could someone package this tag? No testing will be done when it is not in testing ;-). It is as simple as `make upload` and `make pkgbuild` followed by uploading the generated PKGBUILD.
Since much has changed, a news item is in order. Please help me write one.
Help is still wanted.
---suggestion starts here------ netcfg 2.8.2 release ===
netcfg 2.8.2 has been moved to [core]. It has been six months since it
replace the last 'it' on the previous line by 'netcfg'
had an update, so it accumulated quite some changes. Here is a shortlist. - Configuration has moved out of 'rc.conf'. Please move your configuration to '/etc/conf.d/netcfg'. - Connection types ending in '-old', '-dbus' and '-iproute' are discontinued. Remove the suffix if you still have it: you didn't need it. - Systemd is now supported for single profile, multiple profile, automatic wired and automatic wireless connections.
Perhaps link to usage documentation on the wiki (also has to be written)?
- For your basic wifi needs, you can now use the bundled 'wifi-menu' tool. It is a dialog based connection aid inspired by wifi-select. - Disconnecting an interface is no longer done through '-i'. The new parameter is '-D'. Reconnecting an interface is possible through '-R'. - There is a new connection type: PPPoE.
