Personally, I see dhcpcd is the logical option here. It's a nice and simple client and actively maintained. It is disconnected from any particular init system making it appealing for appliances and other special use cases. Given ISC dropping dhclient, we should probably be doing the same in Fedora. -- David Cantrell <dcantr...@redhat.com> Red Hat, Inc. | Boston, MA | EST5EDT _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
