The udhcp was deleted from busybox in 14634. Bolting an external project to
the side of the tree doesn't _COUNT_, and I will not ship it. Udhcp was deleted shortly after I posted my philosophy for what should and shouldn't go into busybox: http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2006-March/019484.html I complained about the change t the time. I've complained repeatedly since. But nobody felt like fixing it. External dependencies are something to be minimized. I don't care about the ability for packages to build outside busybox: something is either part of busybox, or it isn't. If I convert any part of the external udhcp repository to use libbb, I've broken the external package. Any random cleanups that touch that directory suddenly have to worry about external dependencies that are NOT OUR PROBLEM. Therefore, that directory is not and cannot be part of busybox. Wishful thinking isn't going to change that. I will not ship something I can't maintain. I'll try to get a new dhcp client and server in before the ship window closes, but I have a half-dozen other projects pending. I'm sorry this happened, but I'm not the one who removed it, and I'm not the one who ignored the project maintainer's repeated complaints about the situation for the next month and a half.
