Changes:
 ifupdown (0.6.4-4.7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload. This is mostly a bug-fix release, no new
     features have been added and the behaviour of ifupdown has only changed
     slightly. Content has been reviewed by both the maintainer and several
     other maintainers (who have NMUed this package previously)
     - Ifupdown.dvi now depends on *eps files (Closes: #101204)
     - Added missing Build-Dep to noweb since the Makefile calls makenwdep.sh
       (and it calls 'noroots') on build.
     - Remove the undocumented (and unused) -s option from the manpage and the
       main.c code. (Closes: #231404)
     - inet6.defn
       + Make it possible to run an v4tunnel without an address (Closes: #96265)
     - inet.defn
       + Included different handling of dhclient3 versus dhclient.
       + Avoids inconsistency in interface state if the command run
        by ifup fails, also added -e option to dhclient in order to
        have it return an error if it cannot get an address.
        Notice that this is not yet done with dhclient3 (-1) since that would
        mean not running dhclient3 as a daemon and renews not being done.
        (Closes: #97782, #82339, #113338, #148666, #169194)
       + An independent lease file is created per interface so that dhclient
        can be used in more than one interface (Closes: #196366)
       + If dhcp3-client is installed (the binary /sbin/dhclient3 is available)
        then use the -r option instead of with a KILL signal, this enables
        it to release the DHCP release an execute the hook script before
        exiting. Also, the package now suggests 'dhcp-client | dhcp3-client'
        (since dhcp3-client does not provide dhcp-client as pump does)
        (Closes: #196865)
       + Added a metric option for routes, notice, however, the dhclient's
        -e (undocumented) option is not included from the provided patch.
        (Closes: #235993)
       + Use -r instead of -k when DHCP interfaces using pump are downed in
        order to avoid killing all interfaces (only release the one asked for)
        (Closes: #198841)
       + Properly implement the 'hw' option in interfaces by defining the
        hardware address before upping the interface.
        (Closes: #224468, #84602)
       + Allow setting of the hw address in the dhcp method as suggested.
        (Closes: #135502)
     - examples:
       + Added an example in the interfaces file on how to setup an interface
        with multiple IP addresses. I've added a warning, though, since this
        is expected not to work in some cases and might generate inconsistencies
        between the real state and the one noted down in the interfaces state
        file. It is worth documenting this option (with known caveats) rather
        than have users figure it out for themselves.
        (Closes: #172147)
       + Added sample scripts ('ensureifup' and 'ifstate') to ensure that
        interfaces are always up (might be useful for crappy ISP providers)
        as provided by Yann Dirson (Closes: #86902)
       + Provide a 'generate-interfaces.pl' script under the examples dir
        in order to facilitate migration of network configuration in
        pre-woody systems. This script might also be useful to migrate other
        Linux systems to Debian.
        (Closes: #57830)
       + Added a sample 'ifstate-complex' command. Since it is not documented
         I'm adding it to the examples and not closing #153222 with it (yet)
       + Fixed a syntax error in the 'check-mac-address.sh' script and added
         both a little bit of comment code and proper usage.
       + Provided an example on how to setup an interface without IP address
         using the 'manual' method. This is suitable for some cases where we
         only want to have the interface to be up. This example can be used
         to setup PPPOE interfaces or network IDS listening on a network.
         This might not be as good as providing a specific method but the
         maintainer considers that this is the way it should be handled.
         (Closes: #76142, #92993, #129003, #164823, #171981)
       + Also, provided an example bridge configuration script that can
         be setup in /e/n/if-{pre-up,down}.d/ in order to setup bridges.
     - Interfaces(5).pre:
       + Slight improvement in to better describe mapping and point to
        the examples available. (Closes: #232594)
       + Minor changes in the manpage to avoid people being misled .
         (Closes: #232347)
       + Better description of mappings (Closes: #216716)
       + Document IFACE=LIFACE syntax (Closes: #213068)
       + Documented known bugs or limitations.
       + Reference the location of the network examples.
       + Reference also the "Debian Reference" manual since it is more
         verbose in how /e/n/interfaces and ifupdown works.
     - Ifup(8):
       + Document that the -a option will take down all interfaces.
        (Closes: #208607)
       + Also describe in which order are interfaces started/stopped when
         using -a which might avoid confusion, see #208700 for example.
       + Changed manpage name to ifup (instead of ifupdown).
        (Closes: #81150)
       + Document known bugs in the manpage: state maintained is sometimes
        lost, the ifstate needs to be writable and there is a known deadlock
        issue.
       + Document known "limitations" and refer readers to alternatives to
         monitor interface changes such as ifupd and hotplug.
       + Minor formatting changes and rewrites for better comprehension.
     - Translations:
       + Added Spanish debconf translation provided by Carlos Valdivia.
        (Closes: #207727)
       + Added Japanese debconf translation provided by Kenshi Muto.
        (Closes: #210436)
       + Added Dutch debconf translation provided by Tim Dijkstra.
        (Closes: #213723)
       + Added Greek debconf translation provided by Konstantinos Margaritis.
        (Closes: #229503, #229527)
       + Added simplified Chinese debconf translation provided by Hiei Xu.
        (Closes: #231910)
       + Added Czech debconf translation provided by Miroslav Kure.
        (Closes: #231995)
       + Added Turkish debconf translation provided by Recai Oktas.
        (Closes: #239142)
       + Added Danish debconf translation provided by Morten Brix Pedersen.
        (Closes: #241248)
