(Obviously I won't upload packages until the license change really does occur.) Ah, I see - excellent. What would be the point of *-installer packages for djb software if the code becomes DFSG compatible? None - you are absolutely correct. I would then like to formally request that the following current patches in BTS for djbdns-installer be included (or at least seriously considered) in the djbdns package, if the binary redistribution stars align: #107578: djbdns-installer: IPv6 record types not supported (Merged with #107579) #243323: extra file in package (djbdns-conf-fhs) #274000: djbdns-installer: typo in description of tinydns #432900: Please add one-second.patch for performance #432903: Please add native SRV type to tinydns-data / axfr-get #432471: Truncation of alias chains by tinydns and axfrdns #447950: Advisory - L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changing to 199.7.83.42 on 2007-11-01 (includes #432459: B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET IP address changed) A couple of these are minor/cosmetic (typo and djbdns-conf-fhs), the root servers are necessary, but IPv6, one-second, SRV, and the alias chain patch are highly important in our environment. My real desire is to have all the proper bits in place in the Debian package (binary or -installer) for our production authoritative server infrastructure, without the need to roll our own custom .deb's anymore. If Lenny releases to stable with all the right stuff, then I will be a happy user. Thanks for the vid link, Robert - I just saw your post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and your link was not posted in BTS as of my reading. Do let me know if you need any help as you go along - we run a very large tinydns system at work. -- Warm Regards, Michael Shuler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I asked around on #d-mentors, sent a detailed email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 08/20/2007, and basically got a casual OK to hijack the package. If you want to hijack djbdns-installer, I would be grateful to have a full DD as maintainer, so I can help out without asking for random sponsorship. ;) [0] http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html -- Kind Regards, Michael Shuler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Perhaps you could have talked to Adam before filling an ITP? You could even arrange some sort of co-maintainance, if you already have some work done. And just for the record, to back your claims, as of now Qmail's page[0] says: I hereby place the qmail package (in particular, qmail-1.03.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum 622f65f982e380dbe86e6574f3abcb7c) into the public domain.

Package: wnpp Owner: Robert S. Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED] Severity: wishlist * Package name: djbdns Version : 1.05 Upstream Author : Daniel J. Bernstein * URL : http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html * License : public domain Programming Lang: C Description : Replacement for BIND, written by Dan Bernstein The following were taken from various HTML pages under http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html . dnscache is a local DNS cache. It accepts recursive DNS queries from local clients such as web browsers and mail transfer agents. It collects responses from remote DNS servers. It caches the responses to save time later. . tinydns is a DNS server. It accepts iterative DNS queries from hosts around the Internet, and responds with locally configured information. . pickdns is a load-balancing DNS server. It accepts iterative DNS queries from hosts around the Internet, and responds with a dynamic selection of locally configured IP addresses with 5-second TTLs. . walldns is a reverse DNS wall. It accepts iterative DNS queries for in-addr.arpa domains from hosts around the Internet, and supplies generic responses that avoid revealing local host information. . rbldns is an IP-address-listing DNS server. It accepts iterative DNS queries from hosts around the Internet asking about various IP addresses. It provides responses showing whether the addresses are on a locally configured list, such as RBL or DUL. . axfrdns is a DNS zone-transfer server. It reads a zone-transfer request in DNS-over-TCP format from its standard input, and responds with locally configured information. . The security of this software is guaranteed by the author. Details of the guarantee can be found at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/guarantee.html (snagged from the djbdns-installer djbdns description) Supposedly DJB has released all of his code into the public domain. If this is really the case and passes DFSG, I plan to package djbdns assuming Adam McKenna (maintainer of djbdns-installer) doesn't want to. -- Robert Edmonds [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature
