Hello,
possibly a big change is ahead of us, engineers are considering dropping ifcfg support for Fedora 36:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoIfcfgFiles
In short:
- NetworkManager supports new config style (ini-like) and the old one we all know, love or hate (ifcfg) via a legacy plugin
- engineers are proposing to remove the legacy plugin and provide a conversion tool to migrate to the new syntax
- system providers (us) need to rewrite their syntax in kickstart (or other provisioning templates) and generate the new ini-style
- therefore we need to rewrite our ifcfg snippets to create the new syntax
I am not aware of any kind of syntax-checker for NetworkManager, so I requested one:
- Re: F36 Change proposal: No ifcfg by default (Self-Contained Change) - devel - Fedora Mailing-Lists
- RFE: New configuration syntax validator (#895) · Issues · NetworkManager / NetworkManager · GitLab
Fedora 36 is due in May this year.
