Hi I'm upstream for dhcpcd and have recently installed Ubuntu on one of my machines and as such have a vested interest and now the means of using my software on a Debian based system. I have packages prepared for dhcpcd, dhcpcd-dbus and dhcpcd-gtk already and will work on one for openresolv (resolvconf implementation) later today. This provides a light weight alternative to NetworkManager or WICD.
The only big issue that I see with people upgrading are moving configuration from /etc/default/dhcpcd to native dhcpcd in /etc/dhcpcd.conf and existing /etc/network/interfaces inet dhcp lines conflicting with dhcpcd running in master mode via its own init.d script. The script cannot run before networking as it needs the loopback interface and possibly wpa_supplicant started which would solve the problem. One solution would be to sed /etc/network/interfaces and comment these lines out. Can I prevent the init.d/dhcpcd script from being started/stopped on package upgrade/downgrade/removal/install? Where can I post these packages for review? Thanks Roy
