Ah, now you mention it ... I have (very) vague recollections that earlier versions of the iSC server were packaged (in Debian) as "dhcp-server" and may have used /etc/dhcpd.conf. At some point, it got changed to "isc-dhcp-server" (and the client to "isc-dhcp-client") and config files got moved to /etc/dhcp/ - this would have been to avoid confusion with other DHCP server and client packages.

[DNG] Ansible (and probably other configuration management systems) and Devuan facts
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512
Hi folks,
currently I do manage all my systems with ansible and former puppet.
But no system that I tested had a version that detect devuan a clean
way.
I first started with distributing a /usr/share/distro-info/devuan.csv
with content of:
version,codename,series,created,release,eol
8,Jessie,jessie,2013-05-04,2015-04-25
9,Ascii,ascii,2015-04-25
,Ceres,ceres,1993-08-16
... but I think, that file should be included in distro-info-data.
But there is more. With current ansible I get the following
(distribution specific) facts on a debian sid:
"ansible_distribution": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
"ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
"ansible_distribution_file_variety": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "buster/sid",
"ansible_distribution_release": "NA",
"ansible_distribution_version": "buster/sid",
"ansible_lsb": {
"codename": "sid",
"description": "Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)",
"id": "Debian",
"major_release": "unstable",
"release": "unstable"
},
"ansible_os_family": "Debian",
A devuan unstable gives me the following:
"ansible_distribution": "Devuan GNU/Linux",
"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
"ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
"ansible_distribution_file_variety": "NA",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "stretch/sid",
"ansible_distribution_release": "NA",
"ansible_distribution_version": "stretch/sid",
"ansible_lsb": {
"codename": "ceres",
"description": "Devuan GNU/Linux unstable (ceres)",
"id": "Devuan",
"major_release": "unstable",
"release": "unstable"
},
"ansible_os_family": "Devuan GNU/Linux",
And a devuan stable gives me the following:
"ansible_distribution": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "8",
"ansible_distribution_release": "NA",
"ansible_distribution_version": "8.7",
"ansible_lsb": {
"codename": "jessie",
"description": "Devuan GNU/Linux 1.0 (jessie)",
"id": "Devuan",
"major_release": "1",
"release": "1.0"
},
"ansible_os_family": "Debian",
That makes several problems.
First, for every system the ansible_os_family should be Debian as it is
for all .deb based distributions. And even worse, it should never be
something with space.
Next, the ansible_distribution* stuff should have some reasonable
values. First ansible_distribution sould be "Devuan",
ansible_distribution_file_variety should be "Debian",
ansible_distribution_major_version should be the numeric major or NA
(for unstable), ansible_distribution_release should be the name of the
distribution and ansible_distribution_version should be the version with
minor version.
I did some patching of
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/module_utils/facts/system/distribution.py
(see below) to get the following:
"ansible_distribution": "Devuan",
"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
"ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
"ansible_distribution_file_variety": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "ascii/ceres",
"ansible_distribution_release": "ascii/ceres",
"ansible_distribution_version": "ascii/ceres",
"ansible_lsb": {
"codename": "ceres",
"description": "Devuan GNU/Linux unstable (ceres)",
"id": "Devuan",
"major_release": "unstable",
"release": "unstable"
},
"ansible_os_family": "Debian",
As I am a perl hacker and not a python hacker, the patch might be not
the best and there is many room for improvement:

I've found Nedit a surprisingly capable editor on various *nix platforms. I think it changed its name but Google should help. Syntax highlighting for many languages, tabs and regex support too.
