Package: pump Version: 0.8.21-1 Severity: important Anibal,
thank you for your work on pump. Apparently, there is no mechanism in place to release the IP gotten via DHCP at reboot or shutdown. This can lead to rather severe problems in dual-boot situations therefore tagging as important. The problem is as follows. I have set up my DHCP server to assign specific IPs for some network cards. One of those cards is in a Windows/Debian dual-boot machine. After Debian has not released the IP, the computer rebooting into Windows will get an IP assigned from the "free-for-all pool". That of course is not intended. I block IPs from the "free-for-all pool" for certain services on the LAN server, they are relegated to guest status. The fix would be to make sure that a script is called at the time of shutdown to release all IPs gotten via DHCP. I am not 100% sure that pump would and should be the package to do that but it appears most appropriate to me ATM.
