What is the "time frame" for the new tool? (I.e. 4.x?)
I see dhcpctl in 4.0.0a1. But, it appears to connect to the omapi port.
Is there a reference you can point me to that discusses the new
architecture/tool? (web page... README... mail list archives... whatever)
The reason I am asking is because I prefer a perl API and was
considering giving the OMAPI perl module a "face lift". (At the very
least some more documentation.) So, if only a C api is going to be
provided with the dist, I'd like to start writing a basic perl interface.
TIA!
