Roy: could you take care of this for us please ?
Comment 3 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-10 03:11:52 UTC
Merged in the patch by Simon Kelly the Debian dhcpcd maintainer.

Punted old ebuilds. r5 becomes r11, r10 becomes r12 - both have fix
r5 remains in the tree as it's marked stable - all others have been punted.

r11 has been marked stable for x86 and amd64

Calling arches. Please test and mark 1.3.22_p4-r11 stable. Thanks in advance.
