[Bug 1754019] Re: [FFE] netplan 0.34: new features

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

This got landed, but the rename means the bug wasn't closed
automatically. Closing:

netplan.io (0.34) bionic; urgency=medium

  * New release 0.34 (LP: #1754019):
    * Implement "optional: true" to correctly write systemd network definitions
      with "RequiredForOnline=false", so that these networks do not block boot.
      (LP: #1664844)
    * Implement 'help' as a subcommand of any netplan command, so that running
      'netplan * help' always returns some helpful information. (LP: #1748629)
    * Reinstate snap support for dealing with the NetworkManager snap.
      (LP: #1747714)
    * Added bash completion. (LP: #1749869)
    * Implement 'netplan ip leases': allows users to retrieve lease information
      for the backend in use; to query for custom DHCP options.
    * Don't silently break bridge-priority; fix it instead. (LP: #1752162)
    * Miscellaneous coverage, linting, and fuzzing fixes.
    * Refactor subcommands into separate source files, automate command loading
      and various code cleanups.
    * Disable "ifupdown-migrate"; which is incomplete and thus risks breaking
      systems. Better iterate over it without showing it as a viable option.
    * Add better routing support, implement initial routing policy support.
      - Add 'on-link' support. (LP: #1735193)
  * debian/control:
    - Renamed source and "real" binary to netplan.io.
    - Added a transitional package for nplan.
    - Updated Vcs-* fields to point to the Github project we now use.
    - Updated Standards-Version, debhelper.
  * debian/compat: bump to debhelper compat level 11.
  * debian/copyright: Update Format: field for https.
  * debian/netplan.io.install: obligatory file to install files.
  * debian/source/format: now we're 3.0 native, for reals.

** Changed in: nplan (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released

Title:
  [FFE] netplan 0.34: new features

Status in nplan package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  netplan 0.34 introduces new features:

   - optional: true  on an interface to allow it to be "ignored" by networkd-wait-online at boot, and avoid 5 minute delays.
   - added 'help' subcommands everywhere.
   - added bash completion
   - 'netplan ip leases' now allows retrieving the lease file for the "private" DHCP settings contained in a lease for the backend in use. The lease file is displayed in full and allows retrieving settings not normally exposed by the backends.
   - implement better routing support: policy-based routing is now supported for the networkd backend, and better control over the "standard" routes to be installed. A new 'on-link: true' option allows for defining a route that is directly attached.

  These stem from various requests we've had concerning the usability of
  netplan for various projects; for instance:

   -  'optional: true' is useful for the ubuntu-server daily image to
  avoid blocking in networkd while the network interface are coming up
  (which would block for 5 minutes waiting for timeout if no interface
  is connected).

   - policy routing, on-link: true and general routing improvements are
  common user requests from people migrating early to bionic.

   - help and bash completion are common requested features, and
  generally greatly improve usability.

  This new release also has many long-term maintenance code cleanliness
  changes and fixes the following bugs:

      * Reinstate snap support for dealing with the NetworkManager snap.
         (LP: #1747714)
      * Don't silently break bridge-priority; fix it instead. (LP: #1752162)
      * Disable "ifupdown-migrate"; which is incomplete and thus risks breaking systems. Better iterate over it without showing it as a viable option.
