The "important" or "critical" bug report is against dhcp-client-beta that is part of the dhcp package from the ISC. Other packages that are derived from ISC's dhcp are dhcp-relay-beta and dhcp-beta. The bug report filed by Cristoph Lameter against dhc-client-beta says that it is OK to leave dhcp-beta and dhcp-relay-beta. Probably it is a good idea to move the dhcp-beta's to Slink but just so we do not provide beta packages in our next stable release. Now, there are some facts you need to be aware of: 1) The current stable release of DHCP from the ISC is dhcp-1.0.1. However, the current version in Hamm of this package is broken and has "important" bugs against it (I filed it). 2) When I upgrade from dhcp-1.0.0-3 to dhcp-1.0.1-1 dhcpd broke and DHCP clients could not remove their leases. That's the reason I filed the bug report against dhcp. 3) Given the above problem I installed dhcp-beta, and that solved my problem. So, I consider dhcp-beta to be stable enough for a stable release of Debian. I guess the same applies to dhcp-relay-beta. Yesterday Joey sent me a patch for dhcp and I am about to try that in a few minutes. If that solves the problem either I'll do a NMU or the dhcp maintainer will take care of it. Having said this, I think it is up to you (Release Manager) and the dhcp* maintainer(s) to decide what to do. Bye for now. E.- -- Eloy A.
