[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#773749: Resolvconf vs wicd

[Thomas Hood]

I just read bug report #514597 entitled "wicd does not work properly
with resolvconf" which was closed in version 1.5.9-2 with the message
that "07-add_resolvconf_support.patch added". Although I don't see
this patch in the current source tree, I do see references to the
resolvconf program which indicate that resolvconf is supported by wicd
to some extent.

$ grep -r resolvconf .
[...]
wicd-1.7.2.4/wicd/wnettools.py:        """ Checks for the existence of
resolvconf."""
wicd-1.7.2.4/wicd/wnettools.py:        self.resolvconf_cmd =
self._find_program_path("resolvconf")
wicd-1.7.2.4/wicd/wnettools.py:        if self.resolvconf_cmd:
wicd-1.7.2.4/wicd/wnettools.py:            cmd = [self.resolvconf_cmd,
'-a', self.iface]

We can at least conclude that the problem isn't that wicd has never
been adapted to cooperate with resolvconf.
