[pkg-dhcp-devel] Bug#684009: isc-dhcp-client: dhclient must not assume a IPv6 prefix length of 64 when setting an address

[Florent Fourcot]

Hello,

for information, the new release of isc-dhcp provides an option to
change the prefix length:

> The prefix length passed to the dhclient script can now be modified
> at compile time by editing the includes/site.h file and #defineing
> DHCLIENT_DEFAULT_PREFIX_LEN.  By default it is set to 64 in order
> to minimize any disruptions to running systems.  A description of
> some of the issues and some other workarounds can be found at:
> https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01141/31/How-to-workaround-IPv6-prefix-length-issues-with-ISC-DHCP-clients.html


However, since it has to be set at compiling time, it does not solve the
problem for Debian users.

Regards,

Florent.
