Description Jan Macku 2024-02-05 14:16:08 UTC
Don't build network-scripts in Fedora.

The main reason for this change is that ISC dhcp is no longer maintained upstream since the end of 2022. The Infrastructure Services team is not planning to support it in RHEL 10.
Network scripts can't function without dhcp client and since they are no longer developed there is no chance of updating them to use an alternative client.

Also, Network scripts have been deprecated for a long time. Everybody should be using NetworkManager. There is no need to build network-scripts rpm in Fedora anymore.
