Please unblock package nsd3 Since this version will be the next supported I would like to push latest upstream, which: - add support for TLSA RR type - add support for ECDSA (Elliptic Curve algorithms) in DNSSEC Both of these will hopefully used in upcoming years: - EC algorithms have nice properties of being smaller and faster, so people will rollover to them once the support in DNSSEC validators is prevalent - TLSA allows certificate pinning (and even Debian would benefit from that as you can add trust anchor on the fly for self-signed CAs and certs). We hope to see support in browsers/MTAs/MUAs etc. start to growing as the protocol is almost a standard (in RFC-Editor queue for those who knows what that means :)). The upstream release also includes few minor fixes in IXFR code and new zone stats, which I haven't enabled since it's a new code. (I could cherry-pick these two main mentioned features, but I feel it's not worth it as NSD3 has no rev-deps and the codebase is stable.) unblock nsd3/3.2.11-1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
