Changed the suffix of the interface files to .cfg

[starkers]

Heya.. another potential feature to consider..

I've renamed the interface files that get loaded to be suffixed with .cfg (this is currently live in my production also)

good

• we can use backup=yes when we make changes.. (which I have put in) This means an admin can recover the previous config should things go wrong

  bad

• personally I like to (ad-hoc) cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/* and see the existing state in one command..
• people using an older version of the role should consider purging the old files

Thank you for all your inputs.

Two things to consider:

• Unused files will be deleted automatically when network_manage_devices is enabled.
• Therefore backups will not survive a second Ansible run.

Yes good point (I've had a sober look lol)

How about we change the "find" to remove only .cfg files? That way old configs could be recovered
