 Zhaofeng Li | Kea 3.0 😮
https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/wikis/Release-Notes/release-notes-3.0.0 | 06:41:33 |
| Zhaofeng Li | tl;dr:
Build system: Meson
Native HTTP/TLS support: The DHCPv4, DHCPv6, and DHCP-DDNS daemons now have native support for API sockets over HTTP and TLS (HTTP), without the need to use the Control Agent (CA).
Classification: Class tags: Option class-tagging allows an option value to be conditionally applied to the response based on the client's class membership. The effect is similar to using an if-block in ISC DHCP to conditionally include options at a given scope. [...] We have added the ability to choose from multiple occurrences of the same option based on class-tagging.
IPv6-only preferred: Kea now supports v6-only-preferred mode, as described in RFC8925, more precisely. [...] Until recently, however, Kea sent back the option and assigned the IPv4 address at the same time; this is now fixed.
Usability: Kea now prints options with binary data in a human-readable form whenever possible
Build system improvements: Kea now compiles properly with Boost 1.87

 Tom | Insbesondere das sie v6-only-prefered gefixt haben ist ja mal eine gute Nachricht :) | 06:51:53 |
| Tom | * Especially that they've fixed v6-only-preferred is good. :) | 08:49:01 |
 hexa | this is on my todo list, but the 2.6.3 update is still broken https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/411875 | 09:36:27 |
| hexa | if someone wants to take a look | 09:36:32 |
|  @psibi:matrix.org left the room. | 09:38:21 |
|  nbp changed their display name from nbp to nbp — PTO. | 17:26:45 |

 antifuchs | I have a distinct memory that if you passed an NS server to the kernel via the command line, the scripted initrd had a working resolver config... but somehow now, it no longer does. I added a hack to create an /etc/resolv.conf in my system config, but that seems suboptimal. | 01:49:55 |
| hexa | systemd-initrd ultras ❤️🔥 | 01:50:47 |

 emily | please don't spend itme trying to get anything working with scripted initrd :p | 01:54:25 |
| hexa | I wish we had proper deprecation tooling | 01:54:58 |
| hexa | networking.interfaces needs to go 😄 | 01:55:25 |
| hexa | nobody wants to maintain our own network setup stack | 01:55:40 |
| hexa | someone should package up https://codeberg.org/liske/ifstate as an alternative | 01:55:47 |
| hexa | * someone should package up https://codeberg.org/liske/ifstate as an alternative for people who don't like networkd | 01:55:56 |
| hexa | https://ifstate.net/docs/namespaces/ | 02:03:18 |
| hexa | one thing it can do is network namespaces | 02:03:27 |
| hexa | also doesn't run as a daemon, but only makes changes when run | 02:04:01 |
| Zhaofeng Li | would be nice if there was a converter that takes networkd configs and emit ifstate ones, doesn't look very hard to do | 02:12:37 |
| hexa | Redacted or Malformed Event | 02:16:53 |
| hexa | like a one time translation mechanism? | 02:17:11 |
| hexa | certainly not impossible | 02:17:20 |
| hexa | nothing I would want to have in nixpkgs | 02:17:27 |
| Zhaofeng Li | basically one-time, but the use case is being able to still use systemd.network.* and have them handled by ifstate underneath | 02:18:35 |
| hexa | pls no | 02:19:02 |
| hexa | we already have that with useNetworkd and I hate it | 02:19:08 |
