dhcpcd-4.0.0-alpha1 ready for review
OK, some people seem to be genuinely excited about dhcpcd, and others not so
much. So, here's a first draft of dhcpcd-4 :)
You can download a tarball here.
http://roy.marples.name/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-4.0.0-alpha1.tar.bz2
It supplies /etc/dhcpcd.sh which works in pretty much the same way as
dhclient-script. It will configure resolv.conf, ntp.conf, yp.conf and restart
any services for them if it needs to. All variable names that dhclient
emitted are also emitted to dhcpcd.sh so existing customisations stand a good
chance of working.
Interface and routing setup is still done in dhcpcd itself. dhcpcd binary is
now 46k (40k stripped) on NetBSD-4/i386.
New $reason TEST and IPV4LL are emitted.
Stuff that needs to be done
Create man page for dhcpcd.sh
Export classless static routes (option 121) to dhcpcd.sh
Testing! Especially that the correct $reason is set.
Review dhcpcd.sh and ensure that all funtions can be overridden by hook
scripts.
Thanks
Roy
