Fair enough. >If it is the latter: I believe having a simple and robust DHCP >implementation would be beneficial for the Debian project in general. How does Debian gain by including yet another implementation of a common low-level system networking tool, written in a rarely-used (in Debian) language? In fact, a tool that (according to your own upstream web page at http://www.codelabs.ch/adhcp/) hasn't even been formally released yet. Apart from not being written in your language of choice, is there anything wrong with the existing implementations that would cause a Debian user to want to switch? -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Google-bait: http://www.debian.org/CD/free-linux-cd Debian does NOT ship free CDs.
