As an alternative, you could build the new dhcpcd from rpm source on your 13.1 system.
What's the procedure for doing that? I've already tried an rpm that was supposedly built for 13.1 and it killed dhcp completely.
You get hold of the source rpm, install it, then "rpmbuild -bb <specfile>. You may need to install some extra -devel packages and tools. Your new rpm should end up /usr/src/packages/RPMS I believe.
Possibly easier to leverage OBS. It handles all the build requirements transparently. Log into: http://build.opensuse.org Find the dhcpcd package you want to build. (maybe the one from 13.2 - https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:13.2/dhcpcd) click "branch package" under the description click on newly created "project" in the breadcrumb line (eg. home:gregfreemyer:branches:openSUSE:13.2:Update) click on "repositories" near the top of "project" page Add "openSUSE 13.1". Return to the "package" page overview eg. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:gregfreemyer:branches:openSUSE:... click on "repositories" near the top of "package" page Turn on publishing for 13.1 Return to the "package" page overview and wait for the package to build. Click on "download package" and follow instructions. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
