Hi all,

I've just uploaded the packages of simple-netaid (libnetaid + snetaid + simple-netaid-cdk) to the repository
of gnuinos chimaera. If you want to install them in devuan, first you'll need to install the gnupg key of gnuinos:

http://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos/pool/main/g/gnuinos-keyring/gnuinos-keyring_2020.05.03_all.deb <http://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos/pool/main/g/gnuinos-keyring/gnuinos-keyring_2020.05.03_all.deb>

and then add the repository to your sources.list:

deb http://packages.gnuinos.org/gnuinos chimaera main

In order to see how the daemon works you can run snetaid in the foreground specifying the absolute path (required),
and looking at stdout [*]:

# /usr/sbin/snetaid -f

but keep in mind that first you'll need to stop the previous instance via "service snetaid stop" because libnetaid
doesn't admit multiple instances of snetaid so far. Once that has been done, run the ncurses interface either from
the menu entry or the command line.

You can verify the response of the ncurses interface to netlink events triggered by foreign processes opening
a new terminal and typing commands like:

# ip link set <device> down

# ifup <device>

and so on...

Don't forget to configure your /etc/network/interfaces! If you don't want to restart the system at every change,
you can reconfigure it by the following way:

# service networking restart

That's all :)

Cheers,

Aitor.
