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
