I wonder if Arch Linux will pick this up. They jumped head first into systemd a while back, but have also rolled out their own network config program, netctl. I think it'll be interesting to see whether they stick with that or switch to networkd.
- antihero 13y agoInterestingly, whilst everyone pushed for netctl on IRC when it was released, I asked a question the other day and the opinion was that netctl sucks and I should use NetworkManager, which has handier VPN support and has improved substantially.
- cnvogel 13y agoNetctl is alrady the third implementation of networking scripts I'm aware of. The last one (netcfg) still seems to be working just fine. It's not an overly elaborate set of scripts for networking configuration, that already integrates well with systemd. All these things tell me that it will probably not take long until Arch takes to take advantage of network configuration in systemd. But then, for more complex, and more dynamic environments, people have used NetworkManager. If it will replace NM, which is a much more substantial piece of code covering a lot of the more complicated setups (VPNs, cellular, a lot of user-interaction), I don't dare to speculate about.
