Would it be possible to add this to the man?.
Thanks.

I don't think we should do this (yet).

Is dhcpcanon packaged in any distribution?

I think not, those distros will all build NM without dhcpcanon support (and the manual entry is just confusing in the majority of cases).

A user who installs dhcpcanon by hand, also needs to rebuild NetworkManager with dhcpcanon support. Such a user probably wouldn't need the manual entry, but follow a Howto.

If you package NetworkManager for a particular distribution where you enable dhcpcanon, you can patch the manual page downstream.

It's packaged for Debian [1]. Hopefully will be packaged for Fedora soon.

A user who installs dhcpcanon by hand, also needs to rebuild NetworkManager with dhcpcanon support. Such a user probably wouldn't need the manual entry, but follow a Howto.

Well, that wouldn't be the case if NetworkManager is build with dhcpcanon support by default (currently it doesn't [2]). In any case dhcpcanon won't be used unless specified manually in the configuration.

If you package NetworkManager for a particular distribution where you enable dhcpcanon, you can patch the manual page downstream.

That's right, i can do that for now.

Thanks.

I guess, we wouldn't mind a patch that modifies the manual page depending on configure options. We do that usually to patch the configuration default (like <literal>&NM_CONFIG_DEFAULT_MAIN_AUTH_POLKIT_TEXT;</literal>). But in this case, it would be an entire paragraph that needs to change depending on the configure option. That seems a bit more complicated.

If you would, please provide a patch that refactors the current manual page to make the list for the dhcp plugins. And then, a second patch that adds one list-item for dhcpanon, depending on whether it's enabled on compile time.

I am closing this for now, because I think we don't want to merge the present patch as-is.

Please reopen if you disagree or open a new pull request for an updated patch.

Thanks!!

When NM is restarted and a new object-manager is created, ensure that
signal handlers are disconnected from the old one.
