Is the DHCP in macports going to be updated to a version that will receive security updates?

This port is out of date, but it has no maintainer. Supplying a tested patch to update it would be helpful.

:-)

I found it easier said than done. I've attached the changes I've made to the port file, a patch I created and the output of the build. I'm now stuck with some Undefined symbols that I don't know how to deal with.

This is probably yet another case of ​http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html#inline. Possible fixes:

• set configure.compiler to llvm-gcc-4.2 if it's clang (the least favorable solution)
• add -std=c89 to configure.cflags if compiling with clang
• patch the code to drop the inline from the function declaration (imho the best solution here)

Also, if it turns out the problem was caused by this you might want to report it back to upstream for assuming to be compiled against the GNU 89 standard without actually specifying a standard.

Adding configure.compiler llvm-gcc-4.2 doesn't help.

• add -std=c89 to configure.cflags if compiling with clang

Adding configure.cflags-append "-std=gnu89" doesn't help either.

• patch the code to drop the inline from the function declaration (imho the best solution here)

I don't have the skills for this...

I'll look into that. I'm not sure if OSX is considered a supported platform for ISC DHCP.

Managed to build 4.1-ESV-R4. See: Portfile.4.1-ESV-R4.diff

Can the package be updated with this patch?

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Commited in r91703, r91704 and r91705 with the following changes:

• removed no longer needed site.conf file
• deleted default configurations `$prefix/etc/{dhcpd,dhclient}.conf
• added modeline to the Portfile and formatted whitespace
• converted checksums to the new recommended types sha256 and rmd160

Thanks for your work.
