Hi Simon.
I just noticed that tools in "contrib/wrt", specifically
dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time don't support IPv6. We ship
those tools as part of dnsmasq subpackage in Fedora. Do you
have any plans to provide support for IPv6 in those tools
or to provide their IPv6 equivalents?
Thank you.

DHCPv6 is a whole different protocol, and the hacks used by those tools
don't read-across well to it. For instance you can't use MAC addresses
to identify leases, in fact you can't easily get a handle of a
particular interface at all, since even a client-id,
interface-adaptor-id pair my be associated with more than one lease,
each of which has a different lease time.
Do you have an application in mind for this? If so it's worth thinking
about how to do it properly (Maybe via DBUS?).
Looking that this, I did realise that the existing DHCPv4
dhcp_lease_time tool got broken in release 2.64, and I've fixed that for
2.67.
Cheers,
Simon.
