as "type primary" is preferred over "type master" now, it makes
sense to make "primaries" available as a synonym too.
added a correctness check to ensure "primaries" and "masters"
cannot both be used in the same zone.
Move BIND binaries which are neither daemons nor administrative programs
to $bindir. This results in only the following binaries being left in
$sbindir:
- ddns-confgen
- named
- rndc
- rndc-confgen
- tsig-confgen
The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
All our MSVS Project files share the same intermediate directory. We
know that this doesn't cause any problems, so we can just disable the
detection in the project files.
Example of the warning:
warning MSB8028: The intermediate directory (.\Release\) contains files shared from another project (dnssectool.vcxproj). This can lead to incorrect clean and rebuild behavior.
Our vcxproj files set the WarningLevel to Level3, which is too verbose
for a code that needs to be portable. That basically leads to ignoring
all the errors that MSVC produces. This commits downgrades the
WarningLevel to Level1 and enables treating warnings as errors for
Release builds. For the Debug builds the WarningLevel got upgraded to
Level4, and treating warnings as errors is explicitly disabled.
We should eventually make the code clean of all MSVC warnings, but it's
a long way to go for Level4, so it's more reasonable to start at Level1.
For reference[1], these are the warning levels as described by MSVC
documentation:
* /W0 suppresses all warnings. It's equivalent to /w.
* /W1 displays level 1 (severe) warnings. /W1 is the default setting
in the command-line compiler.
* /W2 displays level 1 and level 2 (significant) warnings.
* /W3 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 (production quality)
warnings. /W3 is the default setting in the IDE.
* /W4 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 warnings, and all level 4
(informational) warnings that aren't off by default. We recommend
that you use this option to provide lint-like warnings. For a new
project, it may be best to use /W4 in all compilations. This option
helps ensure the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.
* /Wall displays all warnings displayed by /W4 and all other warnings
that /W4 doesn't include — for example, warnings that are off by
default.
* /WX treats all compiler warnings as errors. For a new project, it
may be best to use /WX in all compilations; resolving all warnings
ensures the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.

The isc_mem API now crashes on memory allocation failure, and this is
the next commit in series to cleanup the code that could fail before,
but cannot fail now, e.g. isc_result_t return type has been changed to
void for the isc_log API functions that could only return ISC_R_SUCCESS.
When --with-zlib is passed to ./configure (or when the latter
autodetects zlib's presence), libisc uses certain zlib functions and
thus libisc's users should be linked against zlib in that case. Adjust
Makefile variables appropriately to prevent shared build failures caused
by underlinking.
If a filename (the last argument) is not provided for named-checkzone or
named-compilezone, or if it is a single dash "-" character,
zone data will be read from stdin.
Example of invocation:
cat /etc/zone_name.db | named-compilezone -f text -F raw \
-o zone_name.raw zone_name
Previously, the dns_name API used isc_thread_key API for TLS, which is
fairly complicated and requires initialization of memory contexts, etc.
This part of code was refactored to use a ISC_THREAD_LOCAL pointer which
greatly simplifies the whole code related to storing TLS variables.
The ttlval configuration types are replaced by duration configuration
types. The duration is an ISO 8601 duration that is going to be used
for DNSSEC key timings such as key lifetimes, signature resign
intervals and refresh periods, etc. But it is also still allowed to
use the BIND ttlval ways of configuring intervals (number plus
optional unit).
A duration is stored as an array of 7 different time parts.
A duration can either be expressed in weeks, or in a combination of
the other datetime indicators.
Add several unit tests to ensure the correct value is parsed given
different string values.
I was truncating zone files for experimental purposes when I found
that `named-compilezone | head` got stuck. The full command line that
exhibited the problem was:
dig axfr dotat.at |
named-compilezone -o /dev/stdout dotat.at /dev/stdin |
head
This requires a large enough zone to exhibit the problem, more than
about 70000 bytes of plain text output from named-compilezone.
I was running the command on Debian Stretch amd64.
This was puzzling since it looked like something was suppressing the
SIGPIPE. I used `strace` to examine what was happening at the hang.
The program was just calling write() a lot to print the zone file, and
the last write() hanged until I sent it a SIGINT.
During some discussion with friends, Ian Jackson guessed that opening
/dev/stdout O_RDRW might be the problem, and after some tests we found
that this does in fact suppress SIGPIPE.
Since `named-compilezone` only needs to write to its output file, the
fix is to omit the stdio "+" update flag.
Until now, the build process for BIND on Windows involved upgrading the
solution file to the version of Visual Studio used on the build host.
Unfortunately, the executable used for that (devenv.exe) is not part of
Visual Studio Build Tools and thus there is no clean way to make that
executable part of a Windows Server container.
Luckily, the solution upgrade process boils down to just adding XML tags
to Visual Studio project files and modifying certain XML attributes - in
files which we pregenerate anyway using win32utils/Configure. Thus,
extend win32utils/Configure with three new command line parameters that
enable it to mimic what "devenv.exe bind9.sln /upgrade" does. This
makes the devenv.exe build step redundant and thus facilitates building
BIND in Windows Server containers.
named-checkzone does not use libbind9. Update the Visual Studio project
file template for named-checkzone to reflect that, thus preventing
compilation issues during parallel builds.
- removed some dead code
- dns_zone_setdbtype is now void as it could no longer return
anything but ISC_R_SUCCESS; calls to it no longer check for a result
- controlkeylist_fromconfig() is also now void
- fixed a whitespace error
Adds a new option to named-checkconf, -i. If set, named-checkconf
will not warn you about deprecated options. This allows people
to use named-checkconf in automated deployment precoesses where an
operator only cares if their conf is valid, even if it is not optimal.
This was added as a request as part of introducing a policy on
removing named.conf options.
- "--with-geoip" is used to enable the legacy GeoIP library.
- "--with-geoip2" is used to enable the new GeoIP2 library
(libmaxminddb), and is on by default if the library is found.
- using both "--with-geoip" and "--with-geoip2" at the same time
is an error.
- an attempt is made to determine the default GeoIP2 database path at
compile time if pkg-config is able to report the module prefix. if
this fails, it will be necessary to set the path in named.conf with
geoip-directory
- Makefiles have been updated, and a stub lib/dns/geoip2.c has been
added for the eventual GeoIP2 search implementation.
The ax_check_openssl m4 macro used OPENSSL_INCLUDES. Rename the
subst variable to OPENSSL_CFLAGS and wrap AX_CHECK_OPENSSL() in
action-if-not-found part of PKG_CHECK_MODULE check for libcrypto.
The json-c have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
The libxml2 have previously leaked into the global namespace leading
to forced -I<include_path> for every compilation unit using isc/xml.h
header. This MR fixes the usage making the caller object opaque.
- "hook" is now used only for hook points and hook actions
- the "hook" statement in named.conf is now "plugin"
- ns_module and ns_modlist are now ns_plugin and ns_plugins
- ns_module_load is renamed ns_plugin_register
- the mandatory functions in plugin modules (hook_register,
hook_check, hook_version, hook_destroy) have been renamed
