Re: [Pdns-users] Currently using distro packages, want to update
So I've gathered now that I can get 3.4.2 from https://www.monshouwer.eu/download/3rd_party/pdns/el6/ for my CentOS 6 machine, https://www.monshouwer.eu/download/3rd_party/pdns/el7/ fro my CentOS 7 machine, and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/dns/SLE_12/ for my OpenSUSE 12 machine (or update to OpenSUSE 13 and use http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/dns/openSUSE_13.2/). But the problem that doesn't solve is my impending need to install the PDNS 3.5 release candidate when it's available. I gather there will be RPMs available, but I doubt I'll be able to get it on any of these repos. Is there anyone who can answer my original 3 questions (below) about this? - Since I won't have auto dependency management, what dependencies do I need installed to install PDNS from RPM? - Does pdns-static-3.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm _just_ install the binaries, or does it install the service, too, so that I can call `service pdns start` and configure the service to start automatically on boot? If the RPM doesn't do that, is there documentation / what is the recommended way to install PDNS as a service when installed manually with an RPM? - Should I just be able to uninstall the package using my package manager and then install the RPM as a drop-in replacement?

Also note that openSUSE 12.3 does *not* receive security updates anymore.

If it does, you still may need to chkconfig --add it, and chkconfig --level 345 service_name on to add it to boot). never used the static rpms myself. Building RPMs, deconstructing them, and even creating your own init scripts are pretty common linux system administration tasks, especially if you want to run bleeding edge software on CentOS. You might want to dig into them at some point. ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
[Pdns-users] Currently using distro packages, want to update
I try to always use software packages from my distro package managers (OpenSUSE zypper and CentOS yum) when I can, because it's easier and it resolves all my dependencies for me. I pretty much never manually deal with RPMs (so please forgive some of my ignorance). But my distro is currently on PDNS Authoritative 3.1, and upgrading my OS isn't anywhere on my radar right now. I want to get to 3.4.2, so (I think) I'll need to forego the package manager and install the RPM packages manually (if there are alternatives, I'm all ears). Some questions: - Since I won't have auto dependency management, what dependencies do I need installed to install PDNS from RPM? - Does pdns-static-3.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm _just_ install the binaries, or does it install the service, too, so that I can call `service pdns start` and configure the service to start automatically on boot? If the RPM doesn't do that, is there documentation / what is the recommended way to install PDNS as a service when installed manually with an RPM? - Should I just be able to uninstall the package using my package manager and then install the RPM as a drop-in replacement?

But my distro Which is your distro? Vendor and exact version number? For openSUSE I'm trying to keep up with powerdns releases and my submissions most times end up here pretty soon: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:dns/pdns (currently pdns-3.4.2) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:dns/pdns-recursor (currently pdns-recursor-3.6.2, 3.7.1 is in my home project but not built yet) Sooner or later this will be passed downstream in openSUSE Factory for the next openSUSE release. You can see here which platforms are enabled for default builds: https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/server:dns There you will also find the direct download links to zypper repo for your openSUSE version. In my OBS home project I'm also building openSUSE Factory_ARM for running the packages on rasperry pi.
