There is the PR about the "ipv6 iol intact certification" [1]. There is no useful description but I found out that this is about the results from some automated testing tool that found issues with odhcp6c.
One of those issues could be solved by my PR [2]. Two others remain. Both are related to DNS related RA items that do not seem to expire correctly. Right now, the expiry is implemented mostly within netifd. However, odhcp6c does the same thing too. There are two issues with it: - the expired items are removed from the odhcp6c internal state, but this does not trigger calling the hook script; it is also unclear which "action" would be used if the expiry caused changes - the expiry is processed whenever something is received (RA or DHCP reply) but it would be necassary to also process it when something is due (which would be as simple as calculating the minimum valid value and schedule the expire task with this delay except if the minimum is the "never expires" magic value) The proposed solution in the existing PR [1] involves bigger architectural changes by exporting the expire times to netifd and let it deal with it. Still, I see an advantage of keeping this within odhcp6c for use cases involving odhcp6c without netifd (e.g. outside of OpenWrt; Debian contains odhcp6c too and if I knew that earlier I would have used it in some setup; in this case, I definitly would not want to develop a custom expire processing). It is probably best to wait with this topic until the "Purple patchset" [3] is done that adds ubus support and makes the DHCP part async.
