Hello again,

I would like to request another Microrelease Exception; this time for
the Bind9 package in Ubuntu Kinetic, Jammy, and Focal. I created a wiki
page with the relevant information here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bind9Updates

Having an MRE for bind9 would help a lot to clear out bugs that have
been fixed upstream between 9.16.2-9.16.38 for Focal and up to 9.18.12
in Jammy and Kinetic. Some of these bugs include:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1258003
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1970252
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/2006972

It may also be worth noting that Debian has a similar method of dealing
with bind9 through stable-backports. When there is a new release
upstream it is added to both unstable and bullseye-backports. As of
writing this the two are currently on 9.18.12 while bullseye is on
9.16.27.

Thank you for your consideration. Please let me know if you need
any additional information.

Hi,

With my bind-dyndb-ldap maintainer hat on, have you considered the rebuilds and backports that it needs in order to work and build with the updated bind9? Each new upstream version bumps the soname, so b-d-l needs at least a rebuild, or in the worst case, backports from upstream in order to fix the build.

I've proposed a MR to merge bind-dyndb-ldap with src:bind9[1], but haven't heard back yet. This would fix the rebuild hassle, and also show early on that the build would fail because of modifying the "private" API.

The other option of course would be to follow Debian and drop bind-dyndb-ldap from the release. It's still in sid, but not getting back in bookworm.
