Previously, the Makefiles for mysql and mysqldyn DLZ modules were
generated from autoconf to get CFLAGS and LIBS for MariaDB or MySQL
libraries. The static Makefiles uses a simpler method by calling
`mysql_config` directly from the Makefile.
The old-style DLZ drivers were already marked as no longer actively
maintained and expected to be removed eventually. With the new automake
build system, the old-style DLZ drivers were not updated, and instead of
putting an effort into something that's not being maintained, let's
rather remove the unmaintained code.
Closes: #2814
The map masterfile-format is very fragile and it needs API bump every
time a RBTDB data structures changes. Also while testing it, we found
out that files larger than 2GB weren't loading and nobody noticed, and
loading many map files were also failing (subject to kernel limits).
Thus we are marking the masterfile-format type 'map' as deprecated and
to be removed in the next stable BIND 9 release.
The Debian 10 (buster) Docker image, which GitLab CI uses for building
documentation, currently contains the following package versions:
- Sphinx 4.2.0
- sphinx-rtd-theme 1.0.0
- docutils 0.17.1
Regenerate the man pages to match contents produced in a Sphinx
environment using the above package versions. This is necessary to
prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.
"cache-file" was already documented as intended for testing
purposes only and not to be used, so we can remove it without
waiting. this commit marks the option as "ancient", and
removes all the documentation and implementing code, including
dns_cache_setfilename() and dns_cache_dump().
it also removes the documentation for the '-x cachefile`
parameter to named, which had already been removed, but the man
page was not updated at the time.

Add an item to the release checklist to make sure regression tests
reproducing publicly disclosed security issues are eventually merged
into each maintained branch.
