The code in util/bindkeys.pl was overly complicated and it could not be
reused on Windows because redirecting stdin and stdout at the same time
from perl is overly complicated.
Now the util/bindkeys.pl accepts the input file as the first and only
argument and prints the header file to stdout. This allows the same
utility to be used from automake and win32/Configure script.
when built with "configure --enable-singletrace", named will produce
detailed query logging at the highest debug level for any query with
query ID zero.
this enables monitoring of the progress of a single query by specifying
the QID using "dig +qid=0". the "client" logging category should be set
to a low severity level to suppress logging of other queries. (the
chance of another query using QID=0 at the same time is only 1 in 2^16.)
"--enable-singletrace" turns on "--enable-querytrace" as well, so if the
logging severity is not lowered, all other queries will be logged
verbosely as well. compiling with either of these options will impair
query performance; they should only be turned on when testing or
troubleshooting.
Replace an existing comment with a more verbose explanation of when the
"hint" variable is set in resquery_send() and how its value affects the
advertised UDP buffer size in outgoing queries.
If "edns-udp-size" is set in a "server" block matching the queried
server, it is accounted for in the process of determining the advertised
UDP buffer size, but its value may still be overridden before the query
is sent. This behavior contradicts the ARM which claims that when set,
the server-specific "edns-udp-size" value is used for all EDNS queries
sent to a given server.
Furthermore, calling dns_peer_getudpsize() with the "udpsize" variable
as an argument makes the code hard to follow as that call may either
update the value of "udpsize" or leave it untouched.
Ensure the code matches the documentation by moving the
dns_peer_getudpsize() call below all other blocks of code potentially
affecting the advertised UDP buffer size, which is where it was located
when server-specific "edns-udp-size" support was first implemented [1].
Improve code readability by calling dns_peer_getudpsize() with a helper
variable instead of "udpsize".

When the DNS_FETCHOPT_EDNS512 flag was first introduced [1], it enforced
advertising a 512-byte UDP buffer size in an outgoing query. Ever since
EDNS processing code got updated [2], that flag has still been set upon
detection of certain query timeout patterns, but it has no longer been
affecting the calculations of the advertised UDP buffer size in outgoing
queries. Restore original semantic meaning of DNS_FETCHOPT_EDNS512 by
ensuring the advertised UDP buffer size is set to 512 bytes when that
flag is set. Update existing comments and add new ones to improve code
readability.

The following message:
success resolving '<name>' (in '<domain>'?) after reducing the advertised EDNS UDP packet size to 512 octets
can currently be logged even if the EDNS UDP buffer size advertised in
queries sent to a given server had already been set to 512 octets before
the fetch context was created (e.g. due to the server responding
intermittently). In other words, this log message may be misleading as
lowering the advertised EDNS UDP buffer size may not be the actual cause
of <name> being successfully resolved. Remove the log message in
question to prevent confusion.
As this log message is the only existing user of the "reason" field in
struct fetchctx, remove that field as well, along with all the code
related to it.
This adds a unit test driver for BIND with Automake. It runs the unit
test program provided as its sole command line argument and then looks
for a core dump generated by that test program. If one is found, the
driver prints the backtrace into the test log.
Some operating systems (e.g. CentOS, OpenBSD) install the main pytest
script as "py.test-3". Add that name to the list of names passed to
AC_PATH_PROGS() in order for pytest to be properly detected on a broader
range of operating systems.
Use str.format() instead of f-strings in Python system tests to enable
them to work on Python 3 versions older than 3.6 as the latter is not
available on some operating systems used in GitLab CI that are still
actively supported (CentOS 6, Debian 9, Ubuntu 16.04).
As documentation building utilities are now all included in operating
system images used in GitLab CI, do not install them in each "docs" CI
job any more.
As Python QA tools, BIND system test prerequisites, and documentation
building utilities are now all included in operating system images used
in GitLab CI, do not use pip for installing them in each CI job any
more.
- First merge release branches to maintenance branches, then push
tags. If tags are pushed first and a given set of releases contains
security fixes, the push will be rejected by a server-side Git hook.
- Update ABI check job name.
- Add an item for updating QA tools used in GitLab CI after each
public release.
