ONLY if the patch comes from ISC -- otherwise you turn the "vendor branch" into a farse. My stance also comes from the fact that I do not wish to maintain a DHCP client. I maintain the building and use of a DHCP client w/in FreeBSD. If I wanted to do DHCP software development, I would go join the ISC development effort. > > I believe Ted Lemon indicated that such a change would go into > > version 3 of their DHCP client. > > Yes, but when is it due, and are we willing to wait? Last I looked, there are license issues in ISC's version 3 client. Those that have issues with DHCP should pressure Ted to release a version 2.1. Send him patches that do exactly what you and, see if he won't apply them to 2.0 and then do the release engineering to make a 2.1 offering. FreeBSD cannot be the only group that has issues with the version 2 client. I also want to keep us on an industry standard. I have already rejected patches to the DHCP software that would have made us do something different from the rest of the [Unix] world. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
