[Bug 1492129] [NEW] FFE: integrate networkd with /etc/network/if-*.d/ scripts and resolvconf

 

Public bug reported:

In https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-w-networkd-
vs-ifupdown we want to provide networkd as a viable option for Ubuntu,
in particular server/cloud land. This requires some integration with
existing packages, in particular calling the /etc/network/if-up.d/ and
if-post-down.d/ scripts, similar to what NetworkManager does.

I would like to land this in wily still, so that people can experiment
it and we still have some time to tweak it  for 16.04 LTS:

    http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-
systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=27f7cc9f9f32

As we don't currently use (or even advertise) networkd in Ubuntu, the
risk of this is very low IMHO. The main regression risk is if that would
somehow influence/break interfaces managed by ifupdown or
NetworkManager, but the above changes test if the interface is managed
by networkd.

We also want to provide integration with "resolvconf". This does not
exist yet, but FFE wise it would be very similar; so perhaps this could
get some pre-approval to avoid some paperwork?
