I read this news item and while I have not changed anything myself that |
4 |
I know of, I do recognize a tool listed in the news and wonder about |
5 |
another one. For those who have not seen it yet, here is the news item. |

Revision 2 |

|
25 |
In dhcpcd-6.10.0, the following hooks are no longer installed in |
26 |
/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks by default: |
27 |
|
28 |
10-wpa_supplicant |
29 |
15-timezone |
30 |
29-lookup-hostname |
31 |
|
32 |
These are now installed in /usr/share/dhcpcd/hooks, which is an example |
33 |
directory. |
34 |
|
35 |
If you were using these hooks before you upgrade to 6.10.0, you will |
36 |
need to copy them back to the /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks directory after the |
37 |
upgrade. |

41 |
I don't use the top one listed because I don't use wireless, although |
42 |
I'm sure a LOT of others on this list do. I suspect everyone uses a |
43 |
timezone setting as do I. I have my puter named in the hostname file |
44 |
but not sure if that is what the news item refers too. I'm not sure |
45 |
about the lookupp part. |
46 |
|
47 |
My question is, does this affect me or does the packages installed that |
48 |
use/set this stuff still do what needs doing as it has in the past? |
49 |
Basically, does this require me to copy or link some files for things to |
50 |
keep working as it has been? |
51 |

After syncing, this is what wants to be changed: |

Calculating dependencies... done! |

[ebuild U ] net-misc/dhcpcd-6.10.0::gentoo [6.9.0::gentoo] |

Since I don't recall doing any of this in the past, I suspect I don't |
68 |
have to do anything BUT I'd like to be sure. |

Thanks. |
