[New: openFATE 309504] Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2
Feature added by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Feature #309504, revision 1 Title: Update dhcpcd to 5.2.2 openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: ron neilly (rjneilly) Description: Upgrade from dhcpcd v3.2.3.x, which is in openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3-Factory, to v5.2.2. It seems that we are using a very old dhcpcd that has many issues, some that won't be fixed because they are addressed in more recent releases. So why not upgrade to a current version? v5.2.2 was released on March 31, 2010. v3.2.3 was released over two years ago on Feb 25, 2008 If this can't make it into 11.3 then put on the list for 11.4 Cheers, Ron -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309504
