You misunderstood the post. The ifup-* scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts will
become ineffective, but the "ifup" script still exists. Just remove the
network-scripts
package and everything will keep on working the same, unless you have some very unusual
special configuration that you have manually changed.
When I posted earlier I missed something.
Yes, if you remove network-scripts you can still run ifup/ifdown. What will happen is
that that appropriate /etc/alternatives will be created. So, for example, ifdown will
point to /usr/libexec/nm-ifdown. (NetworkManager-ifdown).
And if you look at that you'd see.
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ cat /usr/libexec/nm-ifdown
#!/usr/bin/sh
nmcli connection load "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$1" &&
exec nmcli connection down filename "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$1"
I've just become used to using "nmcli". Just like I've become used to
using "ip" instead
of "ipconfig".
Thanks for making me take a deeper look.
