>Environment:
System: NetBSD/i386 8.1 (GENERIC)
Architecture: i386 (affects all ports)
Machine: i386
>Description:
The dhcpcd(8) man page suggest to install 10-wpa_supplicant files
to use WiFi devices with dhcpcd(8):
---
     More scripts are supplied in /usr/share/examples/dhcpcd/hooks and need to
     be copied to /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks if you intend to use them.  For
     example, you could install 10-wpa_supplicant so that dhcpcd can ensure
     that wpa_supplicant(8) is always running on a hot-plugged wireless
     interface.
---
and it works fine.

However src/distrib/sets/lists/base/mi has the following entry:
---
./libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant        base-obsolete      obsolete
---

So the manually installed 10-wpa_supplicant script is removed
as obsolete on every upgrade installation by sysinst(8)
(or postinstall(8) fix command).

>How-To-Repeat:
- copy /usr/share/examples/dhcpcd/hooks/10-wpa_supplicant to
  /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks
- upgrade the system to 8.1 using sysinst 

>Fix:
Remove the entry of ./libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/10-wpa_supplicant from
src/distrib/sets/lists/base/mi?

 Not a fix - and probably obvious workaround! - but it can be copied to
 /libexec/dhcpcd-hooks/15-wpa_supplicant or similar to avoid that.

 That's what I usually do, I think it was marked as obsolete because
 there wasn't an agreement on starting wpa_supplicant by default when
 invoking dhcpcd.  In any case - if it's should be kept as obsolete entry
 due that - probably it's less surprising to rename the example to
 11-wpa_supplicant or similar so just directly copying it will work and
 avoid further surprises.

 Log Message:
 PR/54351: Izumi Tsutsui: Remove obsolete entries that are in
 /usr/share/examples/dhcpcd/hooks/, so that when someone uses
 the examples, they don't get removed by postinstall. A more
 advanced way to fix this is to put a date in the the obsolete
 entry and only remove files when they pre-date that date. But
 this is too much complexity for little benefit for now.

 10-wpa_supplicant IS obsolete.

 Using a stock install, just add wpa_supplicant=YES to rc.conf and the 
 defaults will enable interface matching (ie launch with the -M flag) 
 which gives you exactly the same functionality that this dhcpcd hook 
 script did.

 Hmm, from which dhcpcd version?

 Then the following stuff should also be updated accordingly?

 Requires wpa_supplicant-2.6 or newer built with CONFIG_MATCH_IFACE OR 
 NetBSD-8 which has that combo.

 Will fix that in the next import, along with an updated comment at the 
 top of 10-wpa_supplicant.

 I don't see this being a problem? It's still bundled as an example with 
 a stock dhcpcd install as there is no clue what wpa_suppliant if any is 
 installed or how it was built.
 I know this isn't an issue for NetBSD, but is the consensus that the 
 example file be removed? and 50-ypbind if MKYP=no?

 I personally find the 10-wpa_supplicant hook very handy.

 I always manually invoke dhcpcd via `dhcpcd <interface>' and I like
 that wpa_supplicant is started by dhcpcd in that way only when it is
 needed (and without requiring a prior `service wpa_supplicant onestart'
 or similar!).
