Hi,

I don't know why this idea didn't came earlier to my mind, but the dhclient and dhcp package share the same source file. Now that pacman supports splitted packages this can be merged into one PKGBUILD and build both packages at once. This should be really easier than maintaining both packages from differents maintainer like at the moment.

Any objections for doing this?

Daniel

Do it.

I have made the PKGBUILD for the splitted package. Can I just upload the packages with extrapkg in the dhcp trunk directory? What happens to the existing dhclient package in the SVN, must I delete it before? Daniel
