[PATCH 0/1] Add a DHCP daemon service |
|
Date: |
Sat, 16 Dec 2017 00:35:28 -0800 |
Hi,
The following patch adds a DHCP daemon service. It applies cleanly to
commit 341bddb31542d03bef35b1234e6e9466be337798.
I haven't found the time to add system tests yet, and I'm not sure how
easy it would be to do that (wouldn't such a system test require at
least two marionetted VMs? Or is it possible to do it with just
one?). Any thoughts about how to do that would be welcome.
In addition, I decided not to provide any kind of Guile scheme
representation for the daemon's config file, since that was the
quickest way for me to get a working DHCP daemon service. I think it
makes sense to let a user specify a config file explicitly, like this
patch does. I also think it would be neat to provide a way to
configure the daemon in Guile scheme, like we do for other services
such as openssh. Any thoughts on this front would be welcome, too.

Thank you! I hope this service proves useful to somebody besides just
me!

Good catch; I've fixed the ChangeLog entry. I've also added
documentation for <dhcpd-configuration> in the manual, since users
deserve good documentation. I've committed all this as
f1104d900978900addad731dfec4e0e6e5765fbe.
Thank you both for your helpful review!
