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
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 three functions has been modeled after the arc4random family of
functions, and they will always return random bytes.
The isc_random family of functions internally use these CSPRNG (if available):
1. getrandom() libc call (might be available on Linux and Solaris)
2. SYS_getrandom syscall (might be available on Linux, detected at runtime)
3. arc4random(), arc4random_buf() and arc4random_uniform() (available on BSDs and Mac OS X)
4. crypto library function:
4a. RAND_bytes in case OpenSSL
4b. pkcs_C_GenerateRandom() in case PKCS#11 library
3746. [func] New "max-zone-ttl" option enforces maximum
TTLs for zones. If loading a zone containing a
higher TTL, the load fails. DDNS updates with
higher TTLs are accepted but the TTL is truncated.
(Note: Currently supported for master zones only;
inline-signing slaves will be added.) [RT #38405]
include the serial number of the zone from which
they were generated, if different (as in the case
of inline-signing zones). This is to be used in
inline-signing zones, to track changes between the
unsigned and signed versions of the zone, which may
have different serial numbers.
(Note: raw zonefiles generated by this version of
BIND are no longer compatble with prior versions.
To generate a backward-compatible raw zonefile
using dnssec-signzone or named-compilezone, specify
output format "raw=0" instead of simply "raw".)
[RT #26587]
to DNSSEC but are sematically equal according to plain
DNS. Apply plain DNS comparisons rather than DNSSEC
comparisons when processing UPDATE requests.
dnssec-signzone now removes such semantically duplicate
records prior to signing the RRset.
named-checkzone -r {ignore|warn|fail} (default warn)
named-compilezone -r {ignore|warn|fail} (default warn)
named.conf: check-dup-records {ignore|warn|fail};
* new libisc log module file
* isc_dir_chroot() now also changes the working
directory to "/".
* additional INSISTs
* additional logging when files can't be removed.
