DHCP-users,
By now, active readers will have spotted the announcements of the release of
DHCP 4.4.3 -P1 and 4.1-ESV-R16-P2 last week. In the release notes, we also
stated that we intend that release to be the last release of this software from
ISC.
Hopefully this is not a big surprise to anyone, as we have been saying for
years we were winding down maintenance. We cannot make more changes without
risking likely collateral damage, and we want to focus our energies on Kea
instead. I posted a blog about the EOL on the ISC web site
(https://www.isc.org/blogs/isc-dhcp-eol/
<https://www.isc.org/blogs/isc-dhcp-eol/>). I apologize to anyone I
inadvertently left out of the thank-yous: I was feverish with Covid when I
wrote and posted it and it was the best I could manage at the time. In
particular I know the operating system packagers have contributed many issues
and fixes over the years and I forgot to acknowledge them.
Please feel free to ask questions (here is fine) if our intentions aren?t
clear. In particular:
- The Gitlab (https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp
<https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp>) remains open for tracking issues
(even though we won?t be fixing them) and submitting patches (we won?t be
releasing them, but people can download them).
- This mailing list will remain open, and is still a critical resource for
users.
If any of you DHCP experts on here would like to take a crack at forking and
maintaining this DHCP code base, you are absolutely welcome to do so. If you
need elevated privileges in our Gitlab in order to attempt something like that,
please get in touch with me. The only two ?developer guides? I am aware of are
now posted publicly on the wiki page for the DHCP open Gitlab at
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/-/wikis/home
<https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/-/wikis/home>.
