dhcpcd-7.0.0

[bdubbs@…]

New major version.

[bdubbs@…]

dhcpcd-7 defaults the database directory to /var/db/dhcpcd instead of /var/db and now stores dhcpcd.duid and dhcpcd.secret in there instead of in /etc.

The Makefile _confinstall target will attempt to move the files correctly from the old locations to the new locations.

Of course this won't work if dhcpcd-7 is packaged up, so packagers will need to install similar logic into their dhcpcd package.

Here's the list of changes from rc4:

• dhcp: when unicasting on L3, unicast on L2 as well
• dhcp: when rebooting, don't set cidaddr
• dhcp6: don't listen on IPv6 addresses when not using DHCPv6
• dhcp: only set probe state when probing (fixes REBOOT reason)
• linux: use IFA_F_NOPREFIXROUTE for IPv4 addresses
• ipv6: disable kernel RA if interface is active
• hooks: set protocol to link for link layer events

dhcpcd-7.0.0-rc4 has been released with the following changes:

• Mark routes as set by RA/DHCP in Linux
• Don't flush prefix routes/routers if kernel does not support RA
• Remove OpenBSD route labels
• dhcp: improve errors around UDP checksum failure
• dhcp: announce existing addresses before rebooting
• bpf: rework loop so that we can close/reopen fd inside and abort
• ipv6nd: don't handle NA/RA for non active interfaces
• dhcp6: listen on all addresses in non master mode
• dhcpcd-run-hooks: set protocol in dhcpcd, don't guess
• Ensure that xid is unique across all interfaces
• dhcp6: redirect message to interface which uses the xid
• bsd: strip scope from LL addresses when detecting their addition
• ipv6nd: fix address lifetime overflow on carrier up
• dhcp6: fix confirmation of lease on carrier up
• eloop: fix signal catching before eloop is started on Linux

dhcpcd-7.0.0-rc3 has been released with the following noteable changes:

• Fixed handling RA's from multiple routers
• Fixed changing to a better route based on gateway
• IPv6 default route is now deleted when config is not persistent
• Use hmac(3) if available in libc to reduce binary size

dhcpcd-7.0.0-rc2 released

• dhcp: fixed classless static routes
• prefix delegation: build routes after assigning addresses
• dhcp: on lease expiration, discover only when carrier
• ip6: fix potential segfault when lifetime overflows
• bsd: compile on recent OpenBSD platforms
• dhcp: fix reporting of DNS encoded SIP servers
• dhcp6: fix unicast in non master mode
