How to submit a patch or pull request for dhcpcd
I've found a fix for a long-standing bug in dhcpcd. How do I submit a patch - or a pull request for it?

If this is an upstream bug then report it upstream. If it's a packaging bug then use the Arch bugtracker.

It has been reported "upstream", but dhcpcd author says this doesn't help downstreams update dhcpcd. But you guys have it covered, I'm sure.

Has 'upstream' released a new version including your patch yet?
Please link to it if they have as I can't see anything....

Is it this pull for the dhcpcd-8 branch? https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd/pull/95

Yes - that's it. I recalled that Arch used dhcpcd, but didn't know which version. My PR was for the version (8.1) currently used in the 'OS formerly known as Raspbian'. There was another PR for ver 9.

Arch linux uses the latest stable version, which is 9.4.1 and already includes the fix for infinite informs.
(You do not have to guess, a search in the package database is enough: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=dhcpcd )
