Ah, interesting. I didn't manage to find those in my Googling, for some reason. Too many bloody sites uselessly archiving the same messages, I guess. > If I can stop making a udeb, please let me know, I'd love for isc-dhcp not > to get stuck in unstable to testing transitions because it happens to make a > udeb that isn't needed any more. Unfortunately, I think you're stuck with it for a while yet. I can't imagine why I didn't think of it before, but I just checked the Depends: for netcfg, and there it is -- isc-dhcp-client-udeb [kfreebsd-any] So you're stuck maintaining the udeb, and I'm stuck with the support code. We'll commiserate with each other over a beer sometime. <grin> Thanks, - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
