Kadambini, All,

On 2024-02-19 13:54 -0800, Kadambini Nema spake thusly:
> - Change the site to a well maintained fork - https://github.com/bbonev/dhcpdump

You could also add a blurb that Fedora 39, at least, also uses that as
an upstream.

    .checkpackageignore:290: ignored file package/dhcpdump/0001-use-non-bsd-structures.patch is missing

Since the file is no longer present, there is no longer any need to
exclude it from being checked.

Why? Ideally, we want patches to be submitted upstream, so that they get
applied there, and so we can drop them in the future when we bump to a
future version that carries that patch.

Also, as I explained in my previous review: patches should be
git-formatted (at least when the upstream is git-hosted), with a proper
commit log. Having such a commit log will help make an argument for
upstream to accept the patch, or to sucggest an alternative.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
