comment:7 follow-up: Changed 5 years ago by tomek

  • Milestone changed from Kea0.9.1 to DHCP Outstanding Tasks

Moving to outstanding DHCP tickets as discussed on Kea call (2014-10-08).

I'm sorry, but this soft of tickets are tricky to deal with. Even though the change may be simple, one of the engineers must get a Solaris box (either work remotely or set up a VM on his own), configure the environment (which takes a lot of time for someone unfamiliar with Solaris), then build Kea code and run unit-tests.

I'm afraid that is just too much effort for a platform that we do not support. We will get to Solaris one day, it just too early at this stage.

=> POSIX was designed to address this kind of problems, so the ticket should be renamed into "use a POSIX ps" in place to be dropped under the carpet (to paraphrase a French expression).
