bind and bind-tools have been out of sync for a long time. I think that it makes a LOT of sense to keep these in sync as libraries should probably stay in sync between the server and the tools. Actually, I believe that there should only be one ebuild for both of these, just called bind. A USE flag should be created to determine whether the user wants the server or just the tools installed. Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-9.2.2-r3 [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-tools-9.2.3-r1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -p bind bind-tools 2. compare the results from 1. Actual Results: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-9.2.2-r3 [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-tools-9.2.2-r3 Expected Results: It should keep the tools and server in sync to ensure that the libraries and functionality also stay in sync.
My actual results listed are incorrect, and should be: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-9.2.2-r3 [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-tools-9.2.3-r1 Expected results should be: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-9.2.2-r3 [ebuild N ] net-dns/bind-tools-9.2.2
Has there ben any activity on this at all? I have not noted any response to indicate that my request is incorrect, but nor have I seen any response with an affirmative. I am still seeing a version mismatch ... * net-dns/bind Latest version available: 9.2.2-r3 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 4,975 kB Homepage: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9.html Description: BIND - Berkeley Internet Name Domain - Name Server License: as-is * net-dns/bind-tools Latest version available: 9.2.3-r1 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 4,446 kB Homepage: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind9-beta.html Description: bind tools: dig, nslookup, and host License: as-is
Any updated ebuilds you may have would be appreciated.
I am actually asking that either bind-tools be downgraded [in stable] to match what bind is at or to mark the stable branch of bind to match bind-tools. Ideally, bind will always included bind tools, so perhaps a creation of bind-tools as a virtual, but I am only suggesting an option here.
bind and bind-tools 9.2.5 committed into portage thanks, Thomas
