ANN: ADHCP version 0.3

[Adrian-Ken Rueegsegger <ken@codelabs.ch>]

Hi,

I am proud to announce the first official release of ADHCP, which is an
implementation of the DHCP protocol in Ada. Currently the project
provides client and relay services for DHCPv4.

The project website is at [1], the current release 0.3 can be downloaded
from [2].

The ADHCP DHCPv4 client (adhcp_client) is D-Bus aware and can be used on
most modern Linux distributions as a drop-in replacement for other
clients such as ISC's dhclient or busybox's udhcpc. Instructions on how
to use adhcp_client on a Linux desktop are available on the project website.

adhcp_relay is a DHCPv4 and BOOTP relay agent written in Ada. The relay
agent listens for DHCPv4 or BOOTP queries from clients or other relay
agents on a given interface, forwarding them to a specified upstream
server or relay agent.

The ADHCP implementation is designed to be simple and supports only
essential features while still conforming to the related DHCP RFCs. A
small text file documenting the RFC compliance of ADHCP is part of the
project documentation [3].

Kind regards,
Adrian
