9412fc2 dnsmasq: support dhcp_option config as a list
I suspect, that this change happened in master. I am very new to LEDE, but it looks like when the time comes to upgrade to a new release, we would have to reconfigure from scratch. Is that correct? I was hoping that that backwards compatibility would take care of these kind of changes...
No. Generally the config is rather stable and does not change much between versions. I am hopping between LEDE master, 17.01 and even Openwrt trunk due to my community builds using the same config. But it is a good practice to do the config from scratch every now and then, just to pick up the possibly changed defaults.
@ffee
the old config still works, but is a warning that you are using the old syntax.
Configuring dhcp_option as an option does not allow the usage of white
spaces in the option value; fix this by supporting dhcp_option as a list
config while still supporting the option config to maintain backwards
compatibility
You should modify the dhcp config file and change dhcp_option items from
option dhcp_option "option1 option2 option3"
to
list dhcp_option "option1"
list dhcp_option "option2"
list dhcp_option "option3"
