Add a warning about potential performance implications of configuring a
non-root zone as a mirror zone. Explain in more detail how each mirror
zone version is validated and how validation failures are handled. Move
the paragraphs describing how to set up IANA root zone mirroring higher
up, so that they can be more easily found by the reader. Explicitly
state that the "masters" option needs to be present for any mirror zone
which is not the root zone. Tweak the description of the interaction
between the "dnssec-validation" setting and root zone mirroring to make
it less ambiguous. Specify what the default "notify" setting is for
mirror zones.
* Alphabetize the option lists in the man page and help text
* Make the synopses more consistent between the man page and help
text, in particular the number of different modes
* Group mutually exclusive options in the man page synopses, and order
options so that it is more clear which are available in every mode
* Expand the DESCRIPTION to provide an overview of the output modes
and input modes
* Improve cross-references between options
* Leave RFC citations to the SEE ALSO section, and clarify which RFC
specifies what
* Clarify list of digest algorithms in dnssec-dsfromkey and dnssec-cds
man pages
Running "make install" in a separate job in the "test" phase of a CI
pipeline causes a lot of object files to be rebuilt due to the way
artifacts are passed between GitLab CI jobs (object files extracted from
the artifacts archive have older modification times than their
respective source files checked out using Git by the worker running the
"install" job). Test "make install" in one of the build jobs instead,
in order to prevent object rebuilding.
Using 'after_script' for this purpose was not an option because its
failures are ignored.
Duplicating the build script in two places would be error-prone in the
long run and thus was rejected as a solution. YAML anchors would also
not help in this case.
A "positive" test (`test -n "${RUN_MAKE_INSTALL}" && make install`)
would not work because:
- it would cause the build script to fail for any job not supposed to
run "make install",
- appending `|| :` to the shell pipeline would prevent "make install"
errors from causing a job failure.
Due to the above, a "negative" test is performed, so that:
- jobs not supposed to run "make install" succeed immediately,
- jobs supposed to run "make install" only succeed when "make install"
succeeds.
5153. [func] Zone transfer statistics (size, number of records, and
number of messages) are now logged for outgoing
transfers as well as incoming ones. [GL #513]
Ensure IXFR statistics are calculated correctly by dig and named, both
for incoming and outgoing transfers. Disable EDNS when using dig to
request an IXFR so that the same reference file can be used for testing
statistics calculated by both dig and named (dig uses EDNS by default
when sending transfer requests, which affects the number of bytes
transferred).
Ensure AXFR statistics are calculated correctly by dig and named, both
for incoming and outgoing transfers. Rather than employing a zone which
is already used in the "xfer" system test, create a new one whose AXFR
form spans multiple TCP messages. Disable EDNS when using dig to
request an AXFR so that the same reference file can be used for testing
statistics calculated by both dig and named (dig uses EDNS by default
when sending transfer requests, which affects the number of bytes
transferred).
Transfer statistics are currently only reported for incoming transfers,
even though they are equally useful for outgoing transfers. Define a
separate structure for keeping track of the number of messages, records,
and bytes sent during each outgoing transfer, along with the time each
outgoing transfer took. Repurpose the 'nmsg' field of the xfrout_ctx_t
structure for tracking the number of messages actually sent, ensuring it
is only increased after isc_socket_send() indicates success. Report the
statistics gathered when an outgoing transfer completes.
