There are no plans at the moment. We would love to create a client if we could
find a funding stream to sustain such an effort. Over the ten years I have been
at ISC, we never got a dollar in funding or contributions towards maintaining
the client, and also got relatively little user feedback. As a result it was
not very actively maintained. We thought, in fact, that most of the users of
the client (primarily operating system developers) had forked it and were
maintaining it on their own by the time we EOL?d it.
I did approach a few potential funders a while ago, and there wasn?t any
interest, but if there is anyone out there who wants to kickstart the funding,
I would be happy to try again. I would think we would need to fund at least one
developer full time to write it, and thereafter have some funding for both
on-going testing and maintenance. I also haven?t looked recently to see if what
other DHCP clients are available and still being maintained, like the one in
BusyBox. If anyone on the list is aware of other clients, please post and let
everyone know.

Hi Vicky,
Hi List,

dhcpcd is probably the best alternative to ISC dhclient for Unix(ish) operating
systems:
https://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcd
It should also be available in many BSD and Linux distributions.
Greetings

I tried dhcpcd. It seems to have a problem in that it throws up an
error message after 15 or so lease renewals:
dhcpcd[3823]: route socket overflowed (rcvbuflen 8192) - learning
interface state
I looked at the support forum, and it looks like the dhcpcd people are
blaming anything but dhcpcd for the cause of that error message.
So, I'm back to the unsupported isc-dhcp-client.
At least it works. ...
thx.

NetworkManager has an internal DHCP client based on nettools' n-dhcp4. See
section 4.6 here:
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NetworkManager>
<https://github.com/nettools/n-dhcp4>
Debian Bookworm now uses NetworkManager and was just released for Raspberry
Pi so expect to see more deployments testing that client. It previously
defaulted to using dhcpcd.
