Hi list,
I'd like to have a small problem, so I'm asking here before something
goes bork...: ;-)
I found this update for 'dhcpcd' to 6.9.3. So I decided to test it.
Building was ok, but I'm not sure if the result would fit into our
current IPFire builds.
First, I had to disable a 'sed'-line in lfs-file, the file '10-mtu' is
no longer included:
...
sed -i -e "s|-ge 576|-gt 576|g" $(CONFIG_ROOT)/dhcpc/dhcpcd-hooks/10-mtu
...
This is intentional by the programmer, source says in
'/dhcpcd-hooks/Makefile':
...
# We need to remove the old MTU change script if we at all can.
rm -f ${DESTDIR}${SCRIPTSDIR}/10-mtu
...
Accordingly, building stopped with a file-not-found error. After
commenting the 'sed'-line, everything went ok, but
'/var/ipfire/dhcpc/dhcpcd-hooks/10-mtu' is now missing.
My questions:
Do we really need this missing '10-mtu' file?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm just not sure about the
relationsships.
Is a complete reboot required during an eventual upgrade? Or would it be
sufficient to disconnect / connect / reboot network, whatever...?
Thanks for any hints!
Regards
Matthias
