Hi,

I don't know why this idea didn't came earlier to my mind, but the
dhclient and dhcp package share the same source file. Now that pacman
supports splitted packages this can be merged into one PKGBUILD and
build both packages at once. This should be really easier than
maintaining both packages from differents maintainer like at the moment.

Any objections for doing this?

I have made the PKGBUILD for the splitted package. Can I just upload
the packages with extrapkg in the dhcp trunk directory? What happens to
the existing dhclient package in the SVN, must I delete it before?

The scripts will overwrite the entry in database and repositories. I
don't know if it cleans up svn for you, but in case it doesn't, you can
just svn rm the old dhclient package.

Merged and all committed to SVN. It hasn't delete the old directory,
but I will delete it on my own as you said it.

I have some problems in deleting the old dhclient svn directory. Can
someone please delete the dhclient svn directory? Not the package in
the package database, only the SVN directory with svn rm.

Thanks,
Daniel
