Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty with kvm 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11
In this package, "kvm -net tap" defaults to "script=
This forces users to write write their own kvm-ifdown, and respecify the location for kvm-ifup.
It would be better if:
- The "kvm -net tap" default for kvm-ifup was the same as where the package actually puts it (either move the script or compile kvm with a different default).
- The package shipped with a kvm-ifdown script (again ideally in the location which the binary expects by default). A reasonable example (which mirrors the current kvm-ifup) would be:
#!/bin/sh
# NOTE: For this script to operate properly, it is expected that
# you have a br0
BRIDGE=br0
/usr/sbin/brctl delif $BRIDGE $1
/sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 down

Thanks for the information, Richard.
