Dear guix,
My interface should be configured to have 2 static ip addresses, an
IPv4 address and a global IPv6 address.
The static-networking-service-type will only accept one per device, and
will reject the IPv6 address (if I drop the IPv4 address) because it
can't parse it.
My workaround is to add a shepherd service that runs ip address add dev
eno1 the-address and ip address delete dev eno1 the-address, with ip
from iproute2. Maybe static-networking-service-type could do something
better for me?
Best regards,
divoplade

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue and I'm working on it. The idea is to implement the netlink interface in guile and use it to configure the network. I currently have the low-level bits for managing interfaces and addresses. I'm missing the routing part. Once I have this, I can think of a high-level interface that will allow us to build a static-network-service-type that understands IPv4 and IPv6.
