Very interesting how much you can develop around a simple DHCP client :)

And guess what? 9.3.4 is out.

Please don't merge...the next patch is on his way.  *sigh*

Hi,

So since there is a lot of releases, can we come up with some sort of regular update cycle?

I do not think it makes sense to build every single release, because there will always be another one. Should we limit ourselves to about one a month or something like that?

Hi,

looking at the traffic in the mailing list of dhcpcd, I think this is a (hopefully) temporary phenomenon. As far I can see, Roy Marples made some deep changes to the code, for restructuring, ... Those changes always make in noise in the development and testing process.

Do we have a possibility, to participate in the testing process of dhcpcd? We have a somewhat broad user community, but the DHCP client is a essential part for all installations using a DHCP WAN connection.
Currently I see issues with the client, when the ISP changes my IP. Because this happens in the night ( 1.00 am to 2.30 am ), I haven't examined this in depth, yet.

I'd like to. Otherwise, its often hard to decide whether an update is
*really* important or just "nice to have". Software is evil... ;-)

This is one reason why I stopped pushing every available 'squid 4.12' patch.
E.g., how many IPFire user are affected by "squid-Bug 503" (Negative
caching caches errors from If-Modified-Since requests indefinitely) and
is this a serious bug? For IPFire? Hm. Hard to tell. The same applies to
'dhcpcd'. Which release is important for us?

> I do not think it makes sense to build every single release, because there will always be another one.

Yep. Especially for 'dhcpcd' there were over a dozen releases in the
last  half year. But who - and how to - decide(s) what "makes sense"!?
Besides - apart from a few exceptions - I test almost every single patch
before I upload it (yesterday's updates - libvirt, libusbredir, qemu-
are for example such exceptions). And I often sent patches for errors
that I could not reproduce in my environment. Only to prevent them from
appearing with other users.

> Should we limit ourselves to about one a month or something like that?

This would be no problem for me. And it would save some traffic/noise on
the list. As I wrote above: hard to tell...

Best,
Matthias

I'm hoping the same - at some point it will wear off.

> Do we have a possibility, to participate in the testing process of dhcpcd? We have a somewhat broad user community, but the DHCP client is a essential part for all installations using a DHCP WAN connection.

My first thought: if you'd like to participate - why not just ask in the
dhcpcd discussion group?

> Currently I see issues with the client, when the ISP changes my IP. Because this happens in the night ( 1.00 am to 2.30 am ), I haven't examined this in depth, yet.

This sounds easy, but sometimes I decide whether to upload an update or
not based on the number of requests in the respective discussion groups
or in the IPFire forum - even if I cannot reproduce the bug(s) or am not
directly affected.

Sadly, my system is running without seen problems. The kids have mostly
moved out and it gets boring. No more challenges. ;-)
