1 Howdy,

3 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.

23 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?

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

66
67 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.

70 Thanks.
