  • Bug#926208: could we split this package?

    From Russell Coker@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 3 09:00:01 2025
    There have been ongoing issues of IPv4 vs IPv6 for years, this bug is from
    2019 and #792894 is from 2015.

    Could we just split the package? Then if someone doesn't want IPv6 functionality they just don't install that package.

    IPv4 has limited addresses and needs different management methods to IPv6 so using the same package for both will often not be the desired option.

    ISC DHCP is EOL upstream. I would find packaging changes like that a
    bit surprising at this time.

    just my 2 cents,

    Fair enough. I've filed a bug report requesting that the description of the package be changed to note that it is EOL upstream. I was unaware of this
    fact and there are probably many people using it who are also unaware.
