does dhcp-4.2.1_p1 work ? Yes net-misc/dhcp-4.2.1_p1 installs fine. Linux 3.x kernel? It's a broken configure script:

*** Bug 380189 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** fixed in dhcp-4.2.2+ 4.2.2 is masked - any user doing a new install would run in to problems. Also - if i remember correctly it doesn't work with chrooting. both of which are being addressed elsewhere. please refrain from unrelated bugs. As long as they aren't fixed - that version is not a viable solution thus there is no harm in applying this patch to the 3.x series. this bug is about linux-3.x support, and that is fixed in dhcp-4.x. anything else is irrelevant. please stay on topic. i'm not supporting dhcp-3.x, so i'll leave it up to Robin to see what he wants to do with it. Users should move to stable DHCP4 I think, but this patch isn't exactly hazardous. Spanky: do you know of any other reasons where DHCP3 would fail w/ linux 3.x? no idea. ive never looked at dhcp3. but i imagine it wouldnt make the situation any worse than it already is :). dhcp-4.x is stable now |
