This patch series add support for an alternative DHCP client to
dhcp-client-service-type. This is necessary as, currently,
dhcp-client-service-type only supports the ISC DHCP implementation
and this implementation has reached its end-of-life in 2022(!).
For more information, refer to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/68619>.

Specifically, this patch series adds support for dhcpcd. However, it
is not yet enabled by default. Nonetheless, I would strongly suggest
enabling it by default at a later point in time.

In order to enable dhcpcd add the following to /etc/config.scm:

	(service dhcp-client-service-type
	         (dhcp-client-configuration
	           (package dhcpcd)))

I have done some basics tests with this change applied with both
dhcpcd and isc-dhcp. Further tests and feedback would be much
appreciated!

Sören Tempel (2):
  gnu: Add dhcpcd.
  services: dhcp: Support the dhcpcd implementation.
