Some of you may have been using the repo at source.isc.org: we plan to = remove that in the near future. If this will cause a hardship that would = be allieviated by a delay of a few weeks, please let me know asap.=20 Gitlab has become our primary tool for source code control. It has = several advantages for users. There is an integrated issue tracker, = which is open to the public, and we can accept pull requests for = patches. We do not plan to migrate the 20 years of bug report history = currently on bugs.isc.org to gitlab. If there is an issue you have = submitted to bugs.isc.org for ISC DHCP, and it is still a problem in a = currently-supported version, please re-open the issue on gitlab at = https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/issues. Gitlab has proven to be a much better tool for engaging with the = community - we adopted Gitlab first for BIND, and then migrated Kea. We = think you will find it is easier to use than our old repo and bug = tracker. Browsing ISC=E2=80=99s open source and issues in our gitlab = instance is open to anyone, but in order to open or comment on issues, = you must create an account at gitlab.isc.org. If you are potential patch = contributor, please see the newly updated ISC DHCP Contributor=E2=80=99s = Guide at = https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md. DHCP and Kea We have been saying for several years now that Kea is planned to = eventually supplant ISC DHCP. Kea is gaining traction as a good DHCP = server solution for IPv6 environments, and seems to be particularly = popular in enterprise datacenters and with greenfield regional access = providers, for fiber to the home, or residential cable services. = However, we realize that enterprise networks are much more complicated, = with many more legacy devices and legacy requirements, and many of you = are dreading a migration to Kea.=20 We cannot add significant new functionality to ISC DHCP. Given the = state of ISC DHCP =E2=80=99testability=E2=80=99 we will not be adding = any major new features to ISC DHCP. However if it is meeting your needs, = you can relax and keep using it for a while longer. We will keep = maintaining it, following up on reports of security vulnerabilities and = severe issues, and providing professional support, at least through the = end of 2020.=20 Meanwhile, we realize ISC DHCP users wanting to migrate to Kea will need = some help. We have a work-in-progress - a migration utility to translate = ISC DHCP configuration files into partial Kea configuration files. This = is not =E2=80=98finished=E2=80=99 or documented yet, but if you would = like to try it out, it will help you identify how much of your current = ISC DHCP configuration will readily =E2=80=98translate=E2=80=99 into = Kea. The migration assistant is a special version of ISC DHCP. The code = is in a branch off of the ISC DHCP main branch, = https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/dhcp/tree/migration-assistant. If = you try it and find problems, please open an issue in the ISC DHCP = gitlab. You might also want to consult a list of issues that = potentially block ISC DHCP users from migrating to Kea that we are = keeping in the Kea project gitlab: = https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/milestones/6. DHCP and the KB Some of you have noticed that we have moved our old knowledgebase to a = new platform (it is still at kb.isc.org). We have also posted all of the = ISC DHCP man pages there for easy reference. For example: = https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcpd Finally, I wanted to mention that we very much appreciate all the = community support you are offering to each other. A few of you are = frequent and authoritative contributors on the ISC-DHCP users mailing = list, helping others solve their problems, and the time and energy you = spend on that is very much appreciated.
