Package: unbound
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The current init script includes the facility for an administrator to
restart|force-reload unbound, but the standard 'reload' argument
has been omitted.
The unbound changelog indicates that there was once a problem with
the libevent dependency where signals (e.g. SIGHUP for reloading)
caused unbound to exit unintentionally, but that was long since fixed.
These days libev3 is used instead of libevent.
While 'reload' is an optional argument for debian init scripts, in my
view it remains a useful one.
The following patch allows configuration reload without re-starting the
unbound process.
