In the BLFS 8.0 book, we read, in the DHCP section: ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- ...
Additional Downloads * Required patch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/8.0/dhcp-4.3.5-client_script-1.patch * Optional patch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/8.0/dhcp-4.3.5-missing_ipv6-1.patch User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dhcp Kernel Configuration You must have Packet Socket support: [*] Networking support ---> [CONFIG_NET] Networking options ---> <*> Packet socket [CONFIG_PACKET] If you do not have IPv6 support: [*] Networking support ---> [CONFIG_NET] Networking Options ---> <*> The IPv6 Protocol ---> [CONFIG_IPV6] compiled in, then you must use the “missing_ipv6” patch. Installation of ISC DHCP Note This package does not support parallel build. If you have not compiled IPv6 support into the kernel, apply the missing_ipv6 patch: patch -Np1 -i ../dhcp-4.3.5-missing_ipv6-1.patch ----8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<---- howver since, BLFS 8.1, the whole of the "Additional Downloads"section has been missing, meaning that the link to the “missing_ipv6” patch has itself, gone missing. My initial assumption was that, when the need for the dhcp-4.3.5-client_script-1.patch went away, with the upgrade to Dhcp 4.3.6 that occured in BLFS 8.1, the whole of the section was removed, instead of just the part referring to the "Required patch". A closer inspection of http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/8.X/ for X = 1, 2, 3, 4, though shows that LFS is no longer hosting a "missing_ipv6" patch So, is the patch still required, or has the need for it gone, in which case the text referring to it should probably go too ?
