Good to check what you'll get before you get it. The PowerDNS packages you see in Ubuntu are in "universe" which means they are essentially unsupported packages (that just happened to be in Debian at that time).

Re: [Pdns-users] Changes between versions
Thanks for the info. Strange that Ubuntu has decided to do such nonsense for a stable distribution. Good to check what you'll get before you get it. Is it enough to add that repository to my package sources before doing the dist-upgrade? I haven't seen this "apt preferences" stuff before but it looks like it. And still, what changes will I have to face between 3.3.1 and the current 4.0.1?

Isn't it that alpha versions are highly unstable, not much tested, have lots of known bugs and should never be used in production systems? The answers are: yes, yes, yes, yes and yes :-) The alpha version of pdns-server which Ubuntu included in 16.04 is seriously broken, especially with mysql backend. Don't use it. Last I heard (which was the beginning of August), the pdns people were still working on getting at least 4.0.0 final into Xenial. In the mean time, you're better off using the packages which they release themselves: https://repo.powerdns.com/ Regards, Brian. ___ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
