Dig is not a stand alone component. It depends on libisc, libdns, > libisccfg, libirs, and > libbind9. Thats most of the libraries we build. It makes no sense to have a > seperate source > package for dig. It isn't mainly the disk space and extra build time, it's the complexity. Somebody who only wants 'dig' would have to figure out how to isolate it from the result of the build. This would be especially troublesome after doing a "make install" (which I suspect is necessary to get the 'dig' executable properly set up) as there would be a whole lot of undesired stuff installed. Perhaps adding a "install-dig-only" option to the make file would be possible and not a lot of work? _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
