[devinfo] e-smith-base and dhcp

[Stefano Zamboni]

Hi all

can anyone please explain me why the dhcp stuff is in e-smith-base
package and not in a separate one like [e-smith-|smeserver-]dhcp one?

thank you

S.

Because there are DHCP related settings in the console menu I guess,
which makes dhcpd mandatory (even if disabled). If we were spliting it
in its own package, it should be pulled as a dependency for
e-smith-base, so there's not a lot of advantage in doing so.
