I'm not sure I see a path to switching away from klibc-utils completely. As far as I can tell, every upload of initramfs-tools ever has still invoked ipconfig for some arguments.
Most configs can be handled by writing some shell to replace what ipconfig does and some functionality can probably be dropped but doing all of it doesn't sound like a lot of fun. It would be fairly easy to invoke dhclient for the common case of a simple dhcp request, but would it be worth it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782802 Title: ditch ipconfig in favor of dhclient -4 in 18.10 Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When adding ipv6 netboot support to initramfs-tools in yakkety/zesty, this was initially attempted with replacing ipconfig with dhclient. As described in LP: #1621507, the use of dhclient for ipv4 dhcp was backed out in favor of ipconfig. So at the moment, we are using both ipconfig from klibc-utils and dhclient from isc-dhcp-client in the initramfs. We want to switch off of klibc-utils completely and use isc-dhcp- client for both ipv4 and ipv6 in initramfs-tools.
