Description Matthew Schultz 2015-01-07 18:52:25 UTC
net-misc/dhcpcd should have embedded use flag.  Although I wouldn't change the file, I think it would be helpful to have embedded disabled so it installs dhcpcd-definitions.conf which gives a nice list of options that can be used in /etc/dhcpcd.conf which are otherwise not defined in any other documentation.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Roy Marples 2015-01-09 15:25:21 UTC
The way the options are constructed is documented in dhcpcd.conf(5).
dhcpcd-definitions.conf is composed entirely of RFC options. It is fully descriptive, but has a few limitations still - namely the ability to name bits of a byte as a flag and some other minor edge cases.

I added the use flag in 6.7.1. However, it is enabled by default to
follow upstream.

Let me know if you think there is a good case for not enabling it by
default.

Thanks for the report.
