Bug 415957 – net-misc/dhcp: add init.d script for IPv6 invocation of dhcrelay

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Spooky Ghost 2012-05-14 15:08:31 UTC]

net-misc/dhcp does not include an init script for starting IPv6 dhcrelay agent.  I have modified and attached conf.d and init.d files for this purpose.

Reproducible: Always

init script for ipv6 dhcrelay

no need for a sep script considering it's the same binary

The syntax for the invocation of dhcrelay is very different depending on the requirement for -4 or -6 support hence the separate init script.  The -i that would still be there for dhcrelay6 for example is not valid.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2012-05-16 15:57:07 UTC]

i'm not a fan of adding dedicated variables that merely expand into command line options.  so i'm not adding a 2nd init script.

the excess -i is there regardless of ipv4 or ipv6, so that should be fixed independently.
