[OpenWrt-Devel] ISC-DHCP server removed from Chaos Calmer packages, why?

[Janne Cederberg]

Greetings!
I was curious to the reason why the ISC-DHCP server seems to have been
removed from Chaos Calmer packages; tried to find info in mailing list
archive and by general googling but was unable to.

Anyone know why it was removed?

BACKGROUND:
Dnsmasq (at least on Barrier Breaker) isn't too fast on handling multiple
parallel DHCP requests. I understood the isc-dhcp-server-ipv4 would be
better suited for this and more performant and was researching
using/switching to it.

Has the DHCP functionality of Dnsmasq possibly been improved in Chaos
Calmer? Any other comments/suggestions?

Best regards,

That is the effect of the move to a new packages feeds repository two years ago.

Nobody has been willing to maintain the the isc-dhcp package, so it has been 
left at the "oldpackages" repo.

http://git.openwrt.org/?p=packages.git;a=summary
http://git.openwrt.org/?p=packages.git;a=blob;f=net/isc-dhcp/Makefile;hb=HEAD

"oldpackages" have not been compiled for CC15.05 (or for trunk snapshots), 
but you can enable the feed in your own build environment.


If you want the package imported to the current packages feed at Github, you 
could assume its maintainership and create a pull request at Github.
