apt package `netplan` vs `netplan.io`

  • 772

I see two packages in apt:

netplan.io - YAML network configuration abstraction for various backends

netplan - network server for `plan'

I presume netplan.io is the one for dealing with /etc/netplan/foo.yaml network configuration. Do I need to concern myself with netplan at all, or is this just a bad package name?

    Figured it out.

    netplan is the "network server for `plan'". plan being the calendar and day planner.

    netplan.io is the YAML network configuration tool. This is 99.9% most likely the package people want.

    The former has 1 bug, almost no activity, so I think it is just an issue of ambiguous naming.
