Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-05-16 02:44:52 UTC 
NetworkManager allows the dhcp client to be toggled at runtime via NetworkManager.conf. There is no need to enforce an "exactly-one-of" (^^) relationship via REQUIRED_USE.

Given bug 565108, I would propose that this REQUIRED_USE constraint be dropped entirely.

^^ ( dhclient dhcpcd )

Personally I would even disable completely the unmaintained dhcpcd support to prevent people to enter into bugs that won't be resolved ever :/ Maybe for 1.2.x cycle we can make all that dhcp* changes
Comment 2 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2016-06-18 18:25:03 UTC 
I tend to agree with comment #0. Since it can be configured at runtime,
I think there's no need for the required_use setting.
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-07-07 18:59:52 UTC 
dropped the restriction in 1.2
