Revision: 2
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: <=net-misc/dhcpcd-6.10.0
In dhcpcd-6.10.0, the following hooks are no longer installed in
/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks by default:
10-wpa_supplicant
15-timezone
29-lookup-hostname
These are now installed in /usr/share/dhcpcd/hooks, which is an example
directory.
If you were using these hooks before you upgrade to 6.10.0, you will
need to copy them back to the /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks directory after the
upgrade. |
This news item recommends copying files manually into /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks?
After doing so it starts working again. But, couldn't this be done better automatically by using appropriate USE flags in the ebuild? |

USE flags that don't affect what is delivered, are frowned upon/banned by policy depending on whom you talk with, and whether they want to ignore the policy for situation X.
So in general, no; I'd check the upstream dhcpcd codebase if I were you. |

Cool, that's pretty much what I expected. |

Means with those patches applied, no more need to copy the example hooks but should have wpa_supplicant started as a service?
Then the wiki article needs to be adjusted for next release.
Without epatch_user support in the ebuild I'll prefer waiting for a next wpa_suplicant release. |

Thanks for clarification and for all your brilliant work.
Would this change also affect dhcpcd-ui? |

Are the changes included in wpa_supplicant-2.6? |

bug 596606
Will there be any need for running wpa_supplicant as a service then? |

is needed to build support in for it though, so the ebuild will probably need to be modified. |
Maybe I could start a pull request for this.
Should it be activated unconditionally or does it need an additional USE flag? |

| A stupid question, does one still need to run dhcpcd as an initi service ? I.e am I to not copying the hook, but running both dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant (with M option) as services ? |
