[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#847440: resolvconf: run resolvconf service before any networking service

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.79.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,


When using other networking services (networkd, NetworkManager) instead of
networking, resolvconf doesn't run early enough to ensure it's watching for
DNS changes.  

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

Instead of encoding each networking service name in the service unit file use 
network-pre.target to ensure resolvconf runs before any other networking
software.


  * debian/resolvconf.service: resolvconf service must run before any of the
  possible network configuration services (ifupdown, networkd, NetworkManager)
  so use network-pre.target instead of service names. (LP: #1636912)


Thanks for considering the patch.
