You're aware that this breaks "make test" (spf tests) when net tests are
enabled for all versions released prior to Feb 2, 2006 and 3.0.6, right?
Hrm. Yeah, I was worried about that. I thought we had generally fixed
it in our released code, which we did, sorta. So there are two questions
at least:
a) how long are we going to support 3.0.x? we do 0 bug fix backports now
except for security fixes because we expect people either to upgrade to 3.1
or distributors who only give out 3.0.x to do any bug fixes as necessary.
b) should we do a 3.0.7 release to fix this bug, let that be out there
for a while, and then either reach the point where we decide (a) has
passed or a couple of months from now where everyone has a chance to
get the new version -- we really only care about new installations
and not already installed sites.
I changed the record back to the A/TXT version, with an updated A record
appropriately. I'd really like to avoid future "issues.a.o changes IP"
problems (which have bitten us each time, at least twice, in the past
year,) by fixing the record to be a CNAME.
I figured we'd keep the A/TXT version until we released 3.2 since 3.1.0
is also affected by this. Although that was my thinking in February...
I don't know what SA version distros are currently shipping (which would
affect new installs).
I don't think there's a need to fix 3.0 just for that test. People
should really upgrade to 3.1.
I've changed the link on the main web page to use the new link so
hopefully another IP change won't hurt so much.
I suppose I could provide an HTTP redirector, that is sure to be static,
for it if we expect further changes of the current setup would be
problematic.
