Martin and me are having a disagreement on what constitutes an RC bug. I was wondering if you could give us your view of the matter. Since I'm not sure you usually deal with these sorts of things "Go ask TC" is ofc. a perfectly valid response I just thought perhaps we're not quite at that stage yet.
We are explicitly delegated to decide what issues are RC [1].
Context: dhcpcd-base has taken over DHCP duties from isc-dhcp-client in ustable via priority override at Martin's request. This changes a Debian installs DHCP behaviour in a number of ways which I think will cause people problems when they upgrade to trixie, this is one of them.
We do have Release Notes to (also) document important changes like this.
Original report:dhcpcd-base does not send the system's hostname by default as isc-dhcp-client used to due to /etc/dhcpcd.conf having the `hostname` option commented out. This will cause outages for users relying on DDNS when upgrading to trixie. Please let's change the default before releasing this.
I have no idea, how common is DDNS where the hostname is needed? (At least from the time I still used DDNS, I don't recall that was part of it, but I admit that's long time ago).
Side note, reading the bug log, can you comment on why you say """ I'd previously thought perhaps we can programmatically change dhcpcd.conf in postinst, but this is explicitly forbidden by RC policy: """Are you talking here about changing it from another package than the one that ships it?
