Howdy,
I read this news item and while I have not changed anything myself that
I know of, I do recognize a tool listed in the news and wonder about
another one. For those who have not seen it yet, here is the news item.

Title Some dhcpcd hooks are now
examples

Revision 2
In dhcpcd-6.10.0, the following hooks are no longer installed in
/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks by default:
10-wpa_supplicant
15-timezone
29-lookup-hostname
These are now installed in /usr/share/dhcpcd/hooks, which is an example
directory.
If you were using these hooks before you upgrade to 6.10.0, you will
need to copy them back to the /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks directory after the
upgrade.
I don't use the top one listed because I don't use wireless, although
I'm sure a LOT of others on this list do. I suspect everyone uses a
timezone setting as do I. I have my puter named in the hostname file
but not sure if that is what the news item refers too. I'm not sure
about the lookupp part.
My question is, does this affect me or does the packages installed that
use/set this stuff still do what needs doing as it has in the past?
Basically, does this require me to copy or link some files for things to
keep working as it has been?
After syncing, this is what wants to be changed:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] net-misc/dhcpcd-6.10.0::gentoo [6.9.0::gentoo]
USE="embedded ipv6 udev" 176 KiB
[ebuild U ] media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-0.10.23-r3:0.10::gentoo
[0.10.23-r2:0.10::gentoo] USE="nls orc" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 0 KiB
Total: 2 packages (2 upgrades), Size of downloads: 176 KiB
Since I don't recall doing any of this in the past, I suspect I don't
have to do anything BUT I'd like to be sure.
Thanks.
Dale
