Please support multiline input in the dbus Set() command

[Michael Vogt]

It would be great if the dbus API would support multi-line Set().

I did a draft here https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/210

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Gustavo actually suggested to just pass the yaml as single line json, that would make my PR pointless.

[Lukas Märdian (slyon)]

Single line JSON is already supported (below the "network" key), like this:

$ busctl call io.netplan.Netplan /io/netplan/Netplan/config/2HG220 io.netplan.Netplan.Config Set ss "network={ethernets:{eth42:{dhcp4: true, dhcp6: false}}}" ""

Would that work for you?

Hey @mvo! Is what Lukas proposed good enough for you? Or is this feature-request still valid?

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

I think we are fine with the json based setting.
