Hi Thomas, hi everyone, I've added the proposed patch in r5865, it's in experimental/patches/dhcp-transition.

The foremost reason for not doing os is that moving directories is hard to accomplish with patches - we should just do this in trunk once we agree on the way to go. I'd see at least two options: - Just move over to /etc/dhcp, assuming that most people new to FAI (and these are the ones using the simple example, I guess) will only use squeeze or later. That means moving the files/etc/dhcp3 directory in SVN and adapting paths as necessary, just grep for dhcp3. - Ship both files/etc/dhcp3 and files/etc/dhcp and put some logic in the scripts that fcopy the files to check for which one to choose. That means copying the directory in SVN and, again, just grep for dhcp3.

But if you accept the proposed patch it needn't go there, it's done already :-) Best, Michael
