Package: dns-root-data Version: 2021011101 Severity: wishlist Hi,
thanks for providing dns-root-data. It's a nice package that eases DNS administration. I also like that the package does not seem to have any dependencies, so that it is possible to pull this package from unstable even to stable systems without risk. It would be even better if there would be some documentation about your packaging principles for this package. DNS people are paranoid, so it would be nice to know whether: (1) you intend to keep the package dependency-less (2) you intend (and commit!) to do stable updates via stable-proposed-updates should important changes in DNS root data occur It would also nice to have docs saying that (a) having current DNS root data is actually not THAT important since DNS servers only need to be able to access ONE of the root servers on startup to get the complete and really current root data (and thus DNS is ONLY going to break if ALL information in the root.hints becomes outdated together) (b) it is easily possible to pull dns-root-data from unstable and install even on stable, if possible with examples for appropriate apt pinning. This information would make your package even more useful. Thanks for your consideration. Greetings Marc
