Nothing in this news item has anything to do with anybody who is using |
| 21 |
the sys-apps/systemd package (at least, they're not impacted by this |
| 22 |
particular upgrade). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
sys-fs/udev installs its default network configuration rules in the |
| 25 |
path /lib/systemd/network/, and if you want to override them you do |
| 26 |
this in /etc/systemd/network. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If you do have sys-apps/systemd installed then you can override the |
| 29 |
rules in the same place, but the news item is about an upgrade to |
| 30 |
sys-fs/udev. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If you missed the news, systemd took over udev ages ago, and has been |
| 33 |
renaming paths/binaries/etc. It still does the same things it did |
| 34 |
before the takeover. You will just see more references to systemd in |
| 35 |
path names. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
With just udev the only thing the network scripts do is control |
| 38 |
interface naming (I think). If you do migrate to systemd the more |
| 39 |
recent versions include systemd-networkd which can also configure the |
| 40 |
network. I've found that this works fairly well so far. It seems to |
| 41 |
be keeping my dhcp lease alive, which is more than I can say about |
| 42 |
dhcpcd after the last dracut upgrade (the box would drop off the |
| 43 |
network every 24h, and then lock up being that root was via nfs). |
