Dear Thomas and the rest,
I would like to see someone package this work, that is available at https://github.com/joukewitteveen/netcfg and push a package to the (testing?) repository.
I am not requesting maintainership of the code (Alfredo Palhares is after it too), but I am willing to be the maintainer. My request is just to move netcfg forward.
Now, we need to make one of you the maintainer of the official netcfg tree on al.org. I don't know which one of you, so you two fight it out and tell us the result. Or, anyone else on this list, choose. I don't care, as long as I don't have to decide.
We have decided that I will take on maintainership and Alfredo and I will keep in close contact for further development. The tree at https://github.com/joukewitteveen/netcfg has seen some fairly big changes lately, additionally fixing FS#25587 and FS#27496. The new changes require a new PKGBUILD, which is included below (but likely broken by Gmail). This is just for completeness to anyone curious. I hope to get some details on maintainership soon.
