[arch-projects] [netctl] News draft
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]. Steps needed: 1. move openresolv to [core] 2. write a news item How about the following for step 2? ---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. ------ I do not intend to do any more work on netcfg. If anyone wants to take over, it could be moved to [extra] or [community], but otherwise I think one networking CLI of this kind is enough and we can drop netcfg altogether. Note that netctl is not as Arch specific as netcfg was. Gentoo already has a netctl ebuild. Regards, - Jouke

I don't see any bugs on the tracker. Good to move? CC'ed arch-dev-public for comments on the news draft below:

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.

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

I've moved openresolv to [core], I'll move netctl tomorrow and post the news unless anyone objects.
When will we drop netfg? No one has expressed any interest in maintaining it.
If anyone wants it, please adopt in archweb, otherwise I'll drop it to AUR in 3 weeks. If a TU wants it, please ask me to move it. News draft below:

I think all went very well :-). I expect to have a new release for [testing] next week. Shall I add netctl to the base group?
