It turns out it is easier to regenerate Sphinx-mandated structure in
get_objects than to maintain two separate data structures. I should have
realized that before.
New directive .. statementlist:: generates table of statements in a
the given domain (named.conf or rndc.conf). The table contains link to
definition, short description, and also list of tags.
Short description and tags have to be provided by user using optional
parameters. E.g.:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
:tags: resolver, cache
:short: Short description
.. statementlist:: is currently not parametrized.
This modification is based on Sphinx "tutorial" extension "TODO".
The main trick is to use placeholder node for .. statementlist:: and
replace it with table at later stage, when all source files were
processed and all cross-references can be resolved.
Beware, some details in Sphinx docs are not up-to-date, it's better
to read Sphinx and docutil sources.
New and currently unused values can be provided using this syntax:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
:tags: resolver, cache
:short: Short description
The domain stores them in its internal structures for further use.
The extension provides a "Sphinx domain factory". Each new Sphinx domain
defines a namespace for configuration statements so named.conf and
rndc.conf do not clash. Currently the Sphinx domains are instantiated
twice and resuling domains are named "namedconf" and "rndcconf".
This commit adds a single new directive:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
It is namespaced like this:
.. namedconf:statement:: max-cache-size
This directive generates a new anchor for configuration statement and it
can be referenced like :any:`max-cache-size` (if the identifier is
unique), or more specific :namedconf:ref:`max-cache-size`.
It is based on Sphinx "tutorial" extension "recipe".
Beware, some details in Sphinx docs are not up-to-date, it's better
to read Sphinx and docutil sources.
After enormous amount of bikesheding about colors we decided to override
ReadTheDocs default style for literals (``literal`` in the RST markup).
Justification:
- The default RTD "light red literal on white background" is hard to
read. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ reports that text
colored as rgb(231, 76, 60) on white background has insufficient
contrast.
- The ARM has enormous amount of literals all over the place and thus
one sentence can contain several black/red/black color changes. This
is distracting. As a consequence, the ARM looks like a Geronimo
Stilton book.
What we experimented with as replacements for red:
- Green - way too distracting
- Blue - too similar to "usual clickable link"
- Violet - too Geronimo Stilton style
- Brown - better but still distracting
After all the bikesheding we settled on black, i.e. the same as all
"normal" text. I.e. the color is now the same and literals are denoted
by monospaced font and a box around the literal. This has best contrast
and is way less distracting than it used to be.
This lead to a new problem: Internal references to "term definitions"
defined using directives like .. option:: were rendered almost the same
as literals:
- References: monospaced + box + bold + clickable
- Literals: monospaced + box To distinguish these two we added black
dotted underline to clickable references.
I hereby declare the bikeshed painted.
RTD style default never wraps <th> and <td> elements and that just does
not work for real sentences or any other long lines.
We can reconsider styling some tables separately, but at the moment we
do not have use for tables with long but unwrappable lines so it's
easier to allow wrapping globally.
It's wasteful to use 20 bytes and a pointer indirection to represent
two bits of information, so turn the struct into an enum. And change
the names of the enumeration constants to make the intent more clear.
This change introduces some inline functions into another header,
which confuses `gcovr` when it is trying to collect code coverage
statistics. So, in the CI job, copy more header files into a directory
where `gcovr` looks for them.
The aim is to get rid of the obsolete term "GLOBAL14" and instead just
refer to DNS name compression.
This is mostly mechanically renaming
from dns_(de)compress_(get|set)methods()
to dns_(de)compress_(get|set)permitted()
and replacing the related enum by a simple flag, because compression
is either on or off.
There was a proposal in the late 1990s that it might, but it turned
out to be unworkable. See RFC 6891, Extension Mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS(0)), section 5, Extended Label Types.
The remnants of the code that supported this in BIND are redundant.
These notes describe the initial compression design for BIND 9 in
1998/1999, when the IETF had some over-optimistic plans for using EDNS
to change the wire format of domain names. (Another example was
bitstring labels for IPv6 reverse DNS.) By the end of 2000 the EDNS
name compression schemes had been abandoned, and BIND 9's compression
code was rewritten to use a hash table.
There is nothing left of the implementation described here, and the
API functions are better described in `compress.h`, so these notes are
more misleading than helpful. Those who are interested in the past can
look at the version control history.
When there is no time in a key file, `dnssec-settime` will print
"UNSET", but to unset a time the user must specify "none" or "never".
This change allows "unset" or "UNSET" as well as "none" or "never".
The "UNSET" output remains the same to avoid compatibility problems
with wrapper scripts.
I have also re-synchronized the "Timing Options" sections of the man
pages.
After removing the isc_task_onshutdown(), the isc_task_shutdown() and
isc_task_destroy() became obsolete.
Remove calls to isc_task_shutdown() and replace the calls to
isc_task_destroy() with isc_task_detach().
Simplify the internal logic to destroy the task when the last reference
is removed.
The isc_task_onshutdown() was used to post event that should be run when
the task is being shutdown. This could happen explicitly in the
isc_test_shutdown() call or implicitly when we detach the last reference
to the task and there are no more events posted on the task.
This whole task onshutdown mechanism just makes things more complicated,
and it's easier to post the "shutdown" events when we are shutting down
explicitly and the existing code already always knows when it should
shutdown the task that's being used to execute the onshutdown events.
Replace the isc_task_onshutdown() calls with explicit calls to execute
the shutdown tasks.
Remove the line "This address must appear in the secondary server’s
parental-agents zone clause". This line is a copy paste error from
notify-source.
Rewrap.
We have had perpetual problem with Sphinx implicitly double-including
files. To avoid that problem all files with name suffix .inc.rst are now
ignored by Sphinx, and writter can conveniently include them without
modifying conf.py for each and every file.
