I posted to their Slack - they said they are aware of Mailman issues,
and are working on resolving.

thanks!

there's a slack, eh?  problem is i am already in too many.

who is deep on debian, esp trixie, networking with frr?

my plea

---

anyone get vrrp working in trixie? i have been running it in bookworm
for a long time. but trixie `/etc/network/interfaces` does not accept my
bookwormish config which is

    iface eno1
        vrrp 6 198.180.150.126/25 2001:418:8006::126/64

which has a proper result in bookworm

    9: vrrp4-2-6@eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:5e:00:01:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 198.180.150.126/25 metric 1024 scope global vrrp4-2-6
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::1ae3:8932:f80f:40af/64 scope link stable-privacy
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    10: vrrp6-2-6@eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:5e:00:02:06 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 2001:418:8006::126/64 metric 1024 scope global
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::5d36:3ee1:429a:12c8/64 scope link stable-privacy
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

but trixie complains as follows

    Jan 15 02:06:26 r0.dfw.rg.net ifdown[2990]: ifdown: /etc/network/interfaces:31: unknown or no method and no 
inherits keyword specified
    Jan 15 02:06:26 r0.dfw.rg.net ifdown[2990]: ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"

and

    iface eno1 inet manual
        vrrp 6 198.180.152.1/24

    iface eno1 inet6 manual
        vrrp 6 2001:418:3807::1/64

gets no complaints, but does not configure the interface.

anyone with clue in this space?  anyone know a good debian networking
list?
