https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2051874 --- Comment #11 from Yu Watanabe <yuwatana@xxxxxxxxxx> --- IIUC, - both commands rename_device and ifcfg-devname handle ifcfg files and extract matching interface name. - if a matching ifcfg file exists, then interface renaming through .link files needs to be disabled. - so, 60-net.rules file set NAME=. That's OK, as it does not conflict any other tools unless a user creates ifcfg files explicitly. However, - the commands also handle 'ifname=' kernel command line option. That's problematic and confuses users, even if rename_device previously did so. As already pointed out by Zbigniew in the above, systemd-network-generator produces .link files from 'ifname=' and other command line options. If ifcfg-devname (or rename_device) is installed, then systemd-network-generator.service does not work as expected, even if the service is enabled and no ifcfg files exist. At least, it makes harder to debug if an issue related to 'ifname=' handling occurs. We (unfortunately) still support ifcfg files, but that is mostly compatibility reason, I think. So, functionalities not related to ifcfg files should be dropped from the code. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2051874 _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to package-review-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
