Description Pádraig Brady 2012-02-17 16:42:18 UTC
dhcp_release is currently used by openstack as indicated in bug 788485
These utils are generally useful to have I think anyway.

I've handled the Fedora side with:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=389b9104
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=edbef005

It would be great if these could be included in RHEL 6.3,
after which I can update the EPEL openstack package.
Note the patches above create a new subpackage, which
minimizes and simplifies dependencies, but will require
a reimport into package wrangler I think?

Comment 7 Daniel Veillard 2012-02-23 05:32:54 UTC
dnsmasq-2.48-6.el6 is built in rhel-6.3-candidate and includes
a new subpackage dnsmasq-utils similar to the one found in Fedora builds

Summary     : Utilities for manipulating DHCP server leases
Description :
Utilities that use the standard DHCP protocol to
query/remove a DHCP server's leases.
/usr/bin/dhcp_lease_time
/usr/bin/dhcp_release
/usr/share/man/man1/dhcp_lease_time.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/dhcp_release.1.gz


There should be no noticeable change in dnsmasq-2.48-6.el6
compared to dnsmasq-2.48-5.el6
