I just saw 5.1.4 is available on the website.
Simon, I'm packaging dhcpcd-dbus (ITP #563974), and it needs at least 4.99.14
to work. What are your intentions regarding dhcpcd?
If you need help in maintaining it, please either file a RFH, or RFA, or
directly orphan it.
We're really lagging behind upstream:
$ git log bb213ed6bfc39e2d21f00410916c980d1421e164..master |grep -c ^commit
996
(that commit hash is the "Releasing 3.2.3" commit)
Between the two, 80 files changed, 10967 insertions(+), 7146 deletions(-).
Please really consider updating the package.
Thanks for your work so far,
David
I've been ignoring this for far too long because dhcpcd 5.x is far from
compatible with the current version. If I upgrade the existing package,
there will be lots of installations/configurations which fail to work
after the upgrade and/or a great deal of nasty scripting to drag things
along.
I think the best solution is probably a new dhcpcd5 package - such would
be fairly trivial to produce, but take a little time to enter Debian, as
a new package. The existing package has much history, and is carrying a
lot of baggage already. A clean break would be good.
Please feel free to keep bugging me on this; I've been unforgivably
neglectful of it.
Cheers,
Simon.
