Rob Landley [Sun, 7 May 2006 23:19:20 +0000 (23:19 -0000)]
The udhcp was deleted from busybox in 14634.  Bolting an external project to
the side of the tree doesn't _COUNT_, and I will not ship it.

Udhcp was deleted shortly after I posted my philosophy for what should and
shouldn't go into busybox:

http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-March/019484.html

I complained about the change t the time.  I've complained repeatedly since.
But nobody felt like fixing it.  External dependencies are something to be
minimized.  I don't care about the ability for packages to build outside
busybox: something is either part of busybox, or it isn't.  If I convert any
part of the external udhcp repository to use libbb, I've broken the external
package.  Any random cleanups that touch that directory suddenly have to worry
about external dependencies that are NOT OUR PROBLEM.  Therefore, that
directory is not and cannot be part of busybox.  Wishful thinking isn't going
to change that.  I will not ship something I can't maintain.

I'll try to get a new dhcp client and server in before the ship window closes,
but I have a half-dozen other projects pending.  I'm sorry this happened, but
I'm not the one who removed it, and I'm not the one who ignored the project
maintainer's repeated complaints about the situation for the next month and a
half.
