Any dev here that used to or currently wants to maintain these? They are both orphans and it seems I was the last to build them so I have been assigned their bugs. Given I do not use these packages I have almost zero motivation to fix their bugs... Allan

Daniel, would you mind taking dhclient as well? It's a dependency for wicd, is outdated and in need of some work. I don't use wicd much these days myself and I don't really have the time necessary to update it.

I can take it. Just orphan it and I will adopt it. Daniel

I have seen that dhclient isn't a dependency for wicd. The dependency is dhcpcd. I have adopt it anyway, but if you want it back you can have it, otherwise I will maintain it. Daniel

My bad! dhclient is listed on the Wicd wiki as an optional dep for DHCP functionality. I guess the next question is...do we even need dhclient in our main repos, especially if the same functionality is already provided by dhcpcd? On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 3:19 PM, Daniel Isenmann wrote:

If it makes the decision any easier, we don't even have a license declared for dhclient, whereas dhcpcd is BSD licensed.

According to Debian's package information the license is: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/d/dhcp3/dhcp3_3.1.2-1/dhcp-c... I think the license is provided in the source package and should be installed with the package. I prefer dhclient for my needs and not dhcpcd. I will maintain it and I will have a look at the license of the new version. So, why not have two implementations of a dhcp client?

A dhcp client is interchangeable to me, but then again I don't do anything too fancy--if it polls and assigns an IP for me I'm a happy camper. I just wondered, with all the orphaned packages we have in extra, if it made sense to keep two packages that did the exact same thing. But like I said, I don't use either extensively so I'm unaware of any peculiar features of two.
