This page contains a detailed roadmap for the systemd integration of our network subsystem.
Chapter 1
Chapter 1 contains some basic network changes and a lot of systemd stuff.
UsrMove
Perform UsrMove on the network package - this hasn't done yet.
State: Done!
network.service
Splitting of the old network.service file into:
- network-init.service ( performs "Exec=/usr/sbin/network init" )
- network@.service ( performs "Exec=/usr/sbin/network start %i" - to start network on zone "%i" )
State: Not done yet!
network.target.wants
Introduce network.tartget.wants on /usr/lib/systemd/system to add startup terms to network.target
Add network-init.service at default to network.target.wants
State: Not done yet!
multi-user.target.wants
Our default target automatically should start the network.target. It also should be possible to enable/disable the whole network on startup. To perform that we have to add the following lines to the network.target file from systemd package:
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
State: Not done yet!
Chapter 2
Chapter 2 contains a tool to tell systemd which network zones should be started on boot process. The systemd implemention of activation or disableing a service only can handle static requests and our network@.service requires dynamic one's - may this feature will be implemented in a future version of systemd.
systemd-network-helper
This tool would be a bash script stored in /usr/lib/systemd/ like to all other systemd scripts and binarie's which are used by service files.
The script contains multiple switches:
- enable ( creates a symlink for a network zone to autostart it by systemd )
- disable ( removes a symlink for a network zone )
- help ( to print some help text )
- version ( to print version information ) - may we can remove that swith from the roadmap...
State: Not done yet!
