What version of baselayout are you running? Are you on ~arch there also, |
| 12 |
and have baselayout-1.12.0_pre17 (or better, I haven't synced today)? |
| 13 |

+baselayout-1.12.0_pre17.ebuild: |
| 20 |
New release - load of changes! Quick summary. |
| 21 |
resolv.conf management punted to resolvconf-gentoo |
| 22 |
net modules helpers.d punted |
| 23 |
- means you'll probably need ~ARCH of your dhcp client |
| 24 |
udev coldplug support. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
BTW, that means you should probably be running an updated udev as well, |
| 27 |
particularly if you run coldplug, as it's integrated in udev now (and |
| 28 |
consequently blocks the separate package coldplug). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Be sure you've etc-updated everything, too, as between the three updates, |
| 31 |
there are enough changes to break your system in a variety of ways, if you |
| 32 |
haven't updated the config to work with the new packages. There /are/ |
| 33 |
quite a few changes, and some of them change the files in /etc enough that |
| 34 |
failing to do appropriately merge the changes /will/ break things! |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
As for dhcpcd itself, I too have it merged, but don't use it under normal |
| 37 |
circumstances, as I run a static IP behind a rather old router. The |
| 38 |
dhcpcd and a few other packages are there only as backup, in the hopefully |
| 39 |
unlikely event I have to go back to dialup on short enough notice I don't |
| 40 |
have time to grab the sources and merge them before I lose broadband, or |
| 41 |
in case the router gives up the ghost and I can't get a new one right away |
| 42 |
for some reason. |
