ifupdown 0.7~beta2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

ifupdown (0.7~beta2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian experimental.  Remaining changes
    (LP: #905660, LP: #850566, LP: #611877, LP: #678425):
    - ifupdown.nw: Use 100 as default route metric unless an explicit metric
      parameter is set in /etc/network/interface.
    - Add iniparser3.0b sources (dictionary.c, dictionary.h, iniparser.c,
      iniparser.h), to let ifupdown avoid auto-up/down of interfaces if
      network-manager's ifupdown plugin is in managed=true mode.
    - Add a new query interface, 'ifquery', that can be used by upstart
      hooks to ask for the list of possible interfaces that they might need
      to bring up.
    - debian/ifupdown.network-interface.upstart: Replace the init scripts
      with a per-interface Upstart job.
    - debian/ifupdown.networking.upstart: Add a "networking" job that
      partially replaces the networking init script from netbase.
    - debian/control: Bump build-dependency on debhelper for Upstart-aware
      dh_installinit.
    - debian/rules: Due to debhelper always adding /etc/init.d symlinks, we
      must manually remove /etc/init.d/networking for as long as netbase
      still provides it.
    - Add if-up and if-down scripts to emit Upstart events when interfaces
      come up and go down.
    - debian/ifupdown.network-interface-security.upstart: Ensure apport is
      started before interfaces are brought up by either ifupdown or
      network-manager.
    - debian/postinst: If the loopback interface is missing from the config
      in /etc/network/interfaces, add it on upgrade.
    - debian/ifupdown.preinst: Since files in /etc were not conffiles in
      lucid, and /etc/network/if-up.d/upstart and
      /etc/init/network-interface.conf changed between lucid final and
      maverick, add extra handling to avoid spurious conffile prompts.
    - invoke dhclient3 with '-1', meaning it should exit failure if it does
      not receive a response in 60 seconds. (LP: #838968)
    - contrib/ifstate-check: Use /run/ntework/ifstate instead of
      /etc/network/run/ifstate
    - ifup.8: Update man page to indicate that Ubuntu uses /run
      and that it's always writable as it's a temporary filesystem
  * ifupdown.nw: When calling dhclient3, also use /var/lib/dhcp as
    dhclient3 is now a symlink to dhclient and /var/lib/dhcp3 no longer
    exists. (LP: #900234)
  * Mark ifupdown as Multi-Arch foreign
  * Replace remaining references to /var/run/network by /run/network
    (LP: #885506)

ifupdown: high level tools to configure network interfaces

 This package provides the tools ifup and ifdown which may be used to
 configure (or, respectively, deconfigure) network interfaces based on
 interface definitions in the file /etc/network/interfaces.
