[Starlingx-discuss] DHCP Related Patches

[Saul Wold]

HI Brent,

There are currently 6 DHCP related patches specifically to the client code.

We have already determined that 2 of those patches the NSUPDATE 
protection could be removed, 2 seem to be StarlingX spceific but 
replaced with a enter-hook scripts provided in another patch. 1 is a 
backport


dhclient-disable-NSUPDATE.patch
support-disable-nsupdate.patch
  - Remove these 2
dhclient-handle-wrs-install-uuid.patch
dhclient-dhcp6-wrs-install-uuid.patch
  - Can these be removed as the functionality is now added via the 
dhclient-enter-hooks script?

dhclient-ipv6-bind-to-interface.patch
  - This is a backport, which will be available when CentOS updates to 
the newer version.

dhclient-ipv6-conditionally-set-hostname.patch
  - Can this be moved to the dhclient-enter-hooks?

dhclient-restrict-interfaces-to-command-line.patch
  - This seems to be adding functionality, in order to restrict the 
dhclient to only be active on one interface. There is no commit message 
for this one, or is there a way to refactor this?  Is this a bug in 
dhclient?  Was it ever filled or commented on in the DHCP mailing list?


Thanks
    Sau!
