Hi,

I intend to adopt dhcp-dns, as I need it here. :-)

Good news, everyone!

Upstream seems to have disappeared, amd the current package is
sufficiently broken. I'm going to give the entire thing a full rewrite
in C++ and then make transition packages. I hope to get all of this done
before sarge releases; if not, I'll rework the old scripts to be at
least marginally useful.

What is the status? The above message is nearly two years old :)

Please consider doing an upload, at least one setting the maintainer to
"Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>" if you don't want to take
responsibility just now.

Jeroen, did you get any reply?

If not, I think we should remove dhcp-dns--it's been orphaned for more than
3 years, upstream abandoned it, and the equivalent functionality is provided
by dhcp3-server.

Thanks,

Matej

I'll at least file an RC bug and get the package out of testing, there
are apparantly still people using it, who might want a chance adopting
it after the ITA expired into an O:.

Simon, please reply and act immediately if you want to save this package
for sarge.

I don't think it's worth the effort to save that package, as it needs to
be rewritten in large parts. Okay to remove from my side, with a remark
in the release notes.

Since no one stepped up, I guess we can remove it from unstable too?

(This was not practical due to the number of removed packages -- more
than two thousand.)

Thanks,

Yes, its functionality is now provided by the DHCP servers directly, so
there is no need to keep it around.

Are you going to file the removal bug or should I?

Hrm, would have been nice. :-)

Subject: Bug#158332: fixed

Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 00:03:47 -0700

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

  dhcp-dns |   0.50-3.2 | source, all

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 158332@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
