<br>
<br>I like to know who is using the DHCP server from ISC when doing a FAI
<br>network installation. Debian plans to remove this package for the
<br>upcoming release (trixie) and I'm not sure how much work it may cause
<br>to sysadmin to migrate to a replacement, for e.g. the new DHCPD from
<br>ISC called kea.
<br>
<br>Did anyone already migrated to kea?
<br>Do you think you can easily migrate to kea or dnsmasq or other
<br>packages?
<br>
<br>Currently FAI provides examples for the dhcpd.conf for ISC dhcp, but
<br>if Debian removes the isc dhcp package, I cannot provide a working
<br>config for the trixie release in time and FAI users have to do it on
<br>their own.
<br>
<br>I'll try to convince the Debian release team to keep ISC dhcp for the
<br>trixie release, but some people want to remove it , because it's EOL
<br>and there will be no security support by Debian any more.
<br>
<br>What's your oppinion on that?

<br>best regards Thomas
