Bug 79718 – bind and bind-tools out of sync

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Thomas T. Veldhouse 2005-01-27 06:41:31 UTC]

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.

[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:

[ebuild  N    ] net-dns/bind-9.2.2-r3  
[ebuild  N    ] net-dns/bind-tools-9.2.3-r1  

Expected results should be:

[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 ...

Any updated ebuilds you may have would be appreciated. 

[Comment 4 Thomas T. Veldhouse 2005-02-21 21:18:08 UTC]

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
