Dear Maintainer,

the BIND 9 libraries as used in isc-dhcp has been made private by ISC as of BIND
9.14 release.

The ISC-DHCP (a code that has been on life-support for years anyway) is going to
keep using BIND 9.11 libraries (where BIND 9.11 is going to be supported until
end of 2021).

There are two possible options:

* The ISC-DHCP will switch to bundled BIND 9 libraries (libisc, libdns, ...)
* We keep packaging export libraries in a separate project

I think that because the ISC-DHCP is a sole user of the export libraries it
makes sense to use the first option.

Hi,

since 9.16 the bind9 package is not building the bind9 shared libraries
anymore, which have previously been used by isc-dhcp instead of the
bundled bind9 source. Ondrej had filed Bug#942502 about this last October.

bind9 9.16 has now been uploaded to unstable, but (among two RC bugs)
the uninstallability of isc-dhcp prevents migration to testing. Ondrej
has also uploaded src:bind9-libs, which take over the -dev packages and
shared libraries with the most recent 9.11 code.

If I'm not mistaken a simple rebuild of src:isc-dhcp, possibly with
tightened build-dep on libbind-export-dev to ensure the use of the new
src:bind9-libs package should be enough.

Bug#942502: not using the embedded bind9 source, but the new dedicated
source package
Bug#954736: fixed by rebuilding isc-dhcp against the new libdns-export

This would unentangle bind9 and isc-dhcp and allow the latter to
propagate to testing.

Is there something I'm missing?

Bernhard

Hi Bernard,

I think that simple binNMU should be enough.  That’s the reason I have
introduced the src:bind9-libs package, so there’s a grace period for
isc-dhcp to either die or adapt.

Hi Ondrej,

thanks, I've filed Bug#956895 for the binNMU.

Bernhard

Dear Maintainer,

BIND 9.11 will go EOL with the next release and ISC DHCP team is making switch
to maintain the bundled libraries in ISC DHCP on their own.  This means there
will be only option now - use the bundled libraries as they will be maintained
inside the ISC DHCP project.

Thanks for the input Ondřej,

I am doing the relevant changes in the master-pre-4.4.3 git branch. This
should be part of the next upload.

Cheers,

Thank you,

you are probably also aware of the fact that 4.4.3 is the last isc-dhcp release
that will contain client and relay part and all releases after that will contain
only the server component. But I thought it won’t hurt to mention this...

Cheers,
Ondrej
