- updated libisccc to use netmgr events
- updated rndc to use isc_nm_tcpconnect() to establish connections
- updated control channel to use isc_nm_listentcp()
open issues:
- the control channel timeout was previously 60 seconds, but it is now
overridden by the TCP idle timeout setting, which defaults to 30
seconds. we should add a function that sets the timeout value for
a specific listener socket, instead of always using the global value
set in the netmgr. (for the moment, since 30 seconds is a reasonable
timeout for the control channel, I'm not prioritizing this.)
- the netmgr currently has no support for UNIX-domain sockets; until
this is addressed, it will not be possible to configure rndc to use
them. we will need to either fix this or document the change in
behavior.
There were some missing bits in the other rst files and Makefile.am(s)
that didn't reflect the rename of the main document. Also add
ddns-confgen.8 manpage.
it is now an error to have two primaries lists with the same
name. this is true regardless of whether the "primaries" or
"masters" keywords were used to define them.
Add the code and documentation required to provide DNSSEC signing
status through rndc. This does not yet show any useful information,
just provide the command that will output some dummy string.
Similarly, the manpage sources will get rebuild only when in maintainer
mode because they require sphinx-build to be available locally and that
might not be always the case.
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
Move BIND binaries which are neither daemons nor administrative programs
to $bindir. This results in only the following binaries being left in
$sbindir:
- ddns-confgen
- named
- rndc
- rndc-confgen
- tsig-confgen
The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
threads in BSD/OS and mistakenly attributing that to all platforms.
Added a couple of paras on how lookups are performed.
Documented the difference n how trunctaed responses are handled.
