Why is it hard ?
You just need to provide means to delete and add records in the same
command.
ipa dnsrecord-mod DNSZONE DNSRECORD --del-a-rec=1.2.3.4 \
--add-a-rec=4.3.2.1
to replace all:
ipa dnsrecord-mod DNSZONE DNSRECORD --del-all --add-a-rec=4.3.2.1
I was not trying to say it is not technically doable, but it's hard to
use. Imagine how the --help output would look like, if for every RR we
would also generate a --del equivalent..even now the output almost
doesn't fit on screen.
I agree. I am not a far of the ability to do operations for multiple
record types in the same command. It is strangly in consistant to be
able to add an A Record, CNAMe, MX and AAAA record all in the same command.
I'm starting to think that the dnsrecord should not be a separate entity
exposed by the CLI, but instead should be wrapped up into the dnszone
entity. That seems to be how the LDAP object is defined. We treat each
record type as a multi-value field, and we use a consistant look and
feel as email addresses and phone numbers in the user object. Then,
modifying an A record is the same as modifing a phone number: us
add-attr/set-addr for each valu.
Step one would be to modify the dns zone object to have this API, and to
mark the dnsrecord object as deprecated. We can leave it for the
remainder of the release, and remove it in 3.0
