|
|
Here's a rough outline of the steps to follow in preparing a new bind9
|
|
|
|
|
release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Update the README file
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Verify that VERSION contains the correct version
|
|
|
|
|
number (it should have been incremented after the
|
|
|
|
|
previous release)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Announce a CVS pool freeze on bind-dev
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Do basic tests on each build system:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
check out a source tree
|
|
|
|
|
do a build
|
|
|
|
|
test it:
|
|
|
|
|
transfer in
|
|
|
|
|
transfer out
|
|
|
|
|
auth query
|
|
|
|
|
recursive query
|
|
|
|
|
exit cleanly with no leaks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using bind9 as a caching server during web surfing
|
|
|
|
|
Resolving IPv6 addresses

|
|
|
|
|
and sign them with the ISC signing PGP key

|
|
|
|
|

|
- Change file permissions on the signature file to make sure
|
|
|
|
|
it is not writable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Build bind9 from the kit on at least one machine
|
|
|
|
|
and test it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Prepare a release announcement based on the previous one
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
