Have encountered a use case where lacking support for the "append" and
"prepend" options in dhclient.conf lens is causing some pain. The lens
for this file appears to reflect this lack of support today the same as
it did in 2008 when it was initially merged into upstream by author:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/augeas-devel/2008-August/msg00306.html
# /usr/share/augeas/lenses/dist/dhclient.aug
(* Intefraces module for Augeas
Author: Free Ekanayaka <f...@64studio.com>
Reference: man dhclient.conf
The only difference with the reference syntax is that this lens assumes
that statements end with a new line, while the reference syntax allows
new statements to be started right after the trailing ";" of the
previous statement. This should not be a problem in real-life
configuration files as statements get usually splitted across several
lines, rather than merged in a single one.
TODO: support the "default", "supersede", "append" and "prepend"
statements
*)
In the TODO it is noted that "append" option is not supported. I wanted
to see if support for these statements can be implemented and possibly
submitted upstream.
I encounter several use cases exist where this functionality is
necessary; on home networks where ISP provides leases where LAN settings
need to be added for operation on the LAN, and on corporate networks
where it is common for multiple additional settings such as search
domains to be included where DHCP leases may be incomplete.
