Hi,

We discussed a few weeks back in a dev meeting whether or not to revert
to jessie like naming scheme for ethernet interfaces by default.

The eudev package (currently found in the experimental repos and at
https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/eudev ) utilizes the same logic
like udev does when it comes to interface naming schemes. The patch
appended below would reverse the logic and make it opt-in rather than
opt-out.

This would lead network interface names default to the old "eth0" or
"wlan0" scheme, rather than the new(?) "enp0s3"-like scheme. It implies
having "net.ifnames=1" in the kernel cmdline to get the "enp0s3"-like
scheme and not touching anything to get the "eth0" scheme.

To keep these things consistent we should also apply the same patch to
udev as well.

Thoughts??

We've been talking about this before, but agreed not to put it in
production before consensus is reached.

The eudev package (currently found in the experimental repos and at
https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/eudev ) utilizes the same logic
like udev does when it comes to interface naming schemes. The patch
appended below would reverse the logic and make it opt-in rather than
opt-out.

This would lead network interface names default to the old "eth0" or
"wlan0" scheme, rather than the new(?) "enp0s3"-like scheme. It implies
having "net.ifnames=3D1" in the kernel cmdline to get the "enp0s3"-like
scheme and not touching anything to get the "eth0" scheme.

If there are no objections until wednesday, I'd push this trivial, but
important to discuss patch to the package and build it for the
repositories. Please see the patch below:
