dhcpcd-discuss

Hello everyone.


Here at Kaspersky we are using dhcpcd code pulled from NetBSD project 
and patched to work on KasperskyOS. There is, however, an issue with 
logging subsystem - we use our own which uses source code file name, 
line number etc. The obvious solution is to replace functions like 
"loginfox" with macros, but this can't be done without patching several 
tens of places where addresses of such functions are taken to choose 
logging level ("debug"/"info" etc).


Will you accept a patch which will rename "loginfox" and similar 
functions, add macros with old names ("loginfox" etc) calling renamed 
functions (to keep existing logging syntax but prevent their addresses 
being taken) and adjust no longer compilable places in code to use 
"logging level" parameter instead of function pointer? This way everyone 
who needs logging with __LINE__ and similar macros would not need to 
patch several tens of places in dhcpcd code.


If I would post this patch here and it would be accepted, it would get 
into NetBSDsource tree, am I right?
