ifupdown 0.6.7ubuntu6 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ifupdown (0.6.7ubuntu6) dapper; urgency=low


  * Rewrite the way that ifup and ifdown read and write the state file.
    Instead of storing it in memory and holding a lock on it (preventing
    concurrent processes from actually being concurrent) use atomic read and
    write functions that only hold the lock for very short periods.

  * Write to the state file when we start bringing up or tearing down the
    interface, so we don't ever try to do the same operation at the same
    time.
  * Update the state file once the operation is complete to ensure we
    record the actual status of it.
  
  * Restore the dhcp wait, so "ifup eth0" will hang around until DHCP is
    either successful or times out.  Adjust the udev rule again so that
    udevplug doesn't hang around.
