Config-dhcpd

Config-dhcpd is a GUI configuration tool for DHCPd. Initially created to fill a gap in Fedora's system-config-* tools. Config-dhcpd 0.8 is the latest release, please grab it from sourceforge.


  • Record downloads - This month saw a record 339 downloads and it broke a daily rank of 1000 on sourceforge. It may not seem like a lot, but that's more downloads since December 2003 when my middle son was born. Thanks everyone, I do hope config-dhcpd makes your life easier. Remember, if you need any help, please go to the config-dhcpd forums and post. I do monitor the forums and will try to render any assistance I can.
  • 0.8-2 bugfix - There was a bug in 0.8 causing it to simply not start. I had tried to import a library no longer distributed / used with config-dhcpd. I have removed that import and released 0.8-2.
  • 0.8 release - 0.8 is out, there are a couple of caveats about this one though. It does add the beginning of sanity checks and support for group objects.
    It will ignore your existing configuration. I'm sorry about this, but moving to JSON broke the configObject backend. That will not change again until I get a dhcpd config file parser.
    I had a brainfart when doing the 0.7 package, I created symlinks in %post and %postun scripts without install/upgrade checks. Please remove 0.7 *before* installing 0.8
    
  • 0.8 update - I have added group functionality to 0.8, I need to work on sanity checking still before it's ready. The new release also has an updated JSON backend which *IGNORES* existing datastorage. I'm sorry about that, but the configObject backend was too much of a pain to make work with the new object model. The next time the file storage backend changes, it'll be when I *finally* get around to writing / porting a dhcpd config parser. --Rjune 01:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
  • Fedora 11 release - 0.7 is released for Fedora 11, this is a major bugfix release. All known consolehelper bugs are resolved, and I have updated the filesystem expectations to match Fedora 11. Assuming you fill out all the correct information, DHCPd will start. You can get it at the sourceforge file page for config-dhcpd. --Rjune 05:38, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
