The way I have BIND installed on Solaris (and soon to be on Ubuntu)
is this: In the
named
directory I have symbolic links:
bind -> bind-9.7.0-P2
dig -> bind/bin/dig
named -> bind/sbin/named
host -> bind/bin/hos
et alii for the other executables.
When I did the "make install" for bind-9.7.0-P2, the "bind" symlink
pointed to the production
bind-9.7.0-P1
and the only drawback was that for the few minutes while the "make
install" was running, I had to point the bind symlink to the new
directory. As soon as that finished, and I did an "ldd" on all of
the executables as a check, I moved the symlink back to bind-9.7.0-P1.
When it was time to put -P2 in production, all I had to do was
rndc stop
rm bind
ln -s bind-9.7.0-P2 bind
ls -al bind
Start named via a script in /etc/init.d .
If I had found problems with -P2, I could easily have reverted back
to -P1.
