Hi.
I already tried migrating to kea and it's been quite a pain in the a$$
(quite a lot of work). Quickly returned to the default.
Also, does not bode well with centralized management (Salt, in my case),
unless I missed something.
If ISC DHCP can't be kept, amen. It will be quite a lot of work.
If needed, I can try to recover the Kea config files I was testing.

Hi,
I like to know who is using the DHCP server from ISC when doing a FAI
network installation. Debian plans to remove this package for the
upcoming release (trixie) and I'm not sure how much work it may cause
to sysadmin to migrate to a replacement, for e.g. the new DHCPD from
ISC called kea.
Did anyone already migrated to kea?
Do you think you can easily migrate to kea or dnsmasq or other
packages?
Currently FAI provides examples for the dhcpd.conf for ISC dhcp, but
if Debian removes the isc dhcp package, I cannot provide a working
config for the trixie release in time and FAI users have to do it on
their own.
I'll try to convince the Debian release team to keep ISC dhcp for the
trixie release, but some people want to remove it , because it's EOL
and there will be no security support by Debian any more.
What's your oppinion on that?
