Hi Vicky,
I'm the maintainer of isc-dhcp downstream in OpenWrt. I'll try to find time in
the next month or so (being laid off by CrowdStrike complicated things) to
package Kea for OpenWrt, the main issue being addressing the cross-build
details and then a new backend to generate JSON instead of the traditional
dhcpd.conf file.
Cheers,
-Philip
