Upstreaming Sailfish OS ConnMan improvements
Consolidation of improvements to ConnMan connection manager
ConnMan is a core Linux networking component used in mobile, embedded, and desktop systems. Sailfish OS has maintained a fork with over a decade of production-tested improvements — including multiuser support, firewall integration, CLAT (IPv4-over-IPv6), conf.d configuration, and improved DNS handling with systemd-resolved — many of which are not yet upstream. This project focuses on upstreaming these Sailfish OS features to reduce fragmentation, improve security and privacy, and increase interoperability across Linux platforms. By integrating these enhancements into the main ConnMan project, they will become available and sustainably maintained for the wider open-source ecosystem, benefiting both existing ConnMan users and future privacy-preserving mobile systems.
