Bug#248399: dhcp-found dns servers not placed in resolv.conf after default install
Hi Thomas, On Tue, May 11, 2004 at 03:48:03PM +0200, Thomas Hood wrote: I wondered why dhcp-client is still being installed, rather than dhcp3-client.

I guess they are using it because that is the official DHCP client package (official in the sense that dhcp3-client started out as the unstable and development version of the ISC DHCP client, IIRC, and when v3 came out as stable we still kept the old v2 client alive in the dhcp-client package for some reasons.) (If dhcp3-client is to replace dhcp-client, why isn't it just being called dhcp-client, with dhcp2-client kept around if it's really needed?) Good question for the dhcp-client maintainers. CC'ing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Migrating the dhcp-* packages to version 3 of the ISC DHCP package was part of our plan. However, a few months ago we asked the debian-installer people on debian-boot and someone said the timing wasn't right for such a migration because of the risk involved. Cheers!

Re: Is dhcp2 or dhcp3 the default install for Sarge?
Hi Luke, I believe the debian-installer folks are using version 2 of the ISC DHCP packages for the Sarge installer, but I am not 100% sure so I have Cc'ed them here for additional input. The maintainers of the Debian dhcp and dhcp3 packages would like to replace the dhcp packages (ISC DHCP v2) with version 3 of the ISC DHCP package, and get rid of the dhcp3 packages. It's been in our to-do list for some time now but we haven't gotten around it yet. Feedback from the debian-installer team about this move would be appreciated. Cheers, Eloy.- On Mon, Mar 01, 2004 at 10:31:49AM -0500, Luke Seubert wrote: Good day, In an effort to ensure that the Debian page on DistroWatch.com (1) is as up to date as possible, could you please reply to this email and indicate if dhcp2.0pl5-16.1 or dhcp3.0+3.0.1rc11-5 is the default version of dhcp to be installed for Sarge? I have forwarded other updates about Debian packages to Mr. Ladislav Bodnar, maintainer of DistroWatch, and he has accepted them. However, a question has arisen about the default install for dhcp in Sarge.

Re: dhcp NMU or dhcp v3?
Matthias, Matt Zimmerman and I decided to leave the v2 dhcp* packages alone and create instead new dhcp3* packages for DHCP v3. So, both v2 and v3 packages will coexist. I am almost ready to upload new v2 packages which fix lots of bug (including the ones you want to fix with the NMU.) I announced our plans on debian-devel last week (Saturday or Sunday.) In the announcement I asked people to help us test the new dhcp* packages I plan to upload soon. You would do me a great favor if, instead of NMU'ing, you could test out these new packages and confirm that they fix the problems I mark as fixed in the changelog. The location of the test packages is: http://people.debian.org/~peloy/dhcp/ Also, take a look at the debian-devel archives to see my announcement and the current plan. If you find something wrong you can send me a patch against the source code of these packages. Cheers!

If not, I offer to upload a NMU which moves the configuration option from /etc/init.d/dhcp to /etc/default/dhcp. Fixing #75365 and #121854.
