Hi,
Radvd v2.0-rc1 has been posted. There are some substantial changes to the
code, although there should be little to no changes to the command line
options or the config file. I plan to leave 2.0 in rc status for a while
although this is now the master branch in git and 1.x has been forked.
The big changes in v2.0 include some of these...
* interface setup does *not* happen in the parser any more
** This is so the parser can run as non-root (to check config syntax)
** It also helps to setup the interfaces outside the parser if/when netlink
detects iface changes
* netlink (and send_ra) will now bring up, or shutdown a single interface
** radvd use to just call reload_config (which was awful)
* c99 scope being used
* fewer global variables
** This is an effort to make things testable
* more static functions
* disable autoconfig on radvd interfaces
** It's really ugly when an interface autoconfigs using its own RA
There were way over 100 commits initially, most of which I wrote over a
long period of time. I attempted to rewrite the history to give things a
cleaner appearance. I had plenty of opportunity to mess things up, so
testing and review will be appreciated.
One other note: device-bsd44.c hasn't been tested at all.
Thanks in advance,
Reuben
