If they don't want to maintain a dhcp3-server-ldap package but think it would be the best solution I could manage to maintain it inside Debian Edu. This patch is beginning to be a real need for many projects, and in Debian Edu CDD we see it as the only solution to manage thousands of computers using dhcp. As we want to use only packages inside Debian we need an answer to implement it in the future Lenny based version. Please do not make code-copies in the archive. I would very much appriciate if we could get that integrated into the existing debian sources. Code-Copies will only make life harder for the debian security team. Sure, I fully agree with you, and that's why that's my last, and very last, option. And that option would be very studied inside Debian Edu community before deciding to go on it. And, in case we do it, first condition would be to always stay in syncr with dhcp3, what would make debian security team life not so hard. Anyway, first option is getting that into upstream, but upstream says they don't want to use it as he doesn't want to make the server non-rfc-compliant[1] and it's not in his roadmap[2]. Second option is including it into current dhcp3 package patches, but that does not depend on me. We're looking forward for some answer from current maintainers. Cheers. José L.
