-Introduction
-============
-ifupdown2 is a replacement for the debian network interface
-management package ifupdown. It is ifupdown re-written in python. It
-maintains the original ifupdown pluggable architecture and extends it further.
-
-It comes as two packages:
-    * python-ifupdown2
-    * python-ifupdown2-addons

-(Packaging may change in the future)

-python-ifupdown2-addons
------------------------
-
-The python-ifupdown2-addons package contains ifupdown2 addon modules.
-
-addon modules are responsible for applying interface configuration.
-The modules are installed under /usr/share/ifupdownmodules.
-
-Each module can declare its own set of supported attributes. Each module
-is passed the iface object (which is a representation of /etc/network/interfaces
-iface entry). Each module is also passed the operation to be performed.
-
-Example modules are /usr/share/ifupdownmodules/address.py,
-/usr/share/ifupdownmodules/bridge.py etc
-
-The order in which these modules are invoked is listed in 
-/var/lib/ifupdownaddons/addons.conf. There is a ifaddon utility in the works
-to better manage the module ordering.

-documentation.
