MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Re: Request for FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE: PLEASE include this patch to BIND and turn it on by default X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 09:14:44 -0000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've commented on this a couple times already, but it's probably worth stating again. If a proper patch is available for bind 9, from the ISC, it'll be included in the port. If a proper patch is available for bind 8, from the ISC, it'll be included in HEAD, the ports, and MFC'ed asap. Whether any of the above happens before 4.9-RELEASE or not is partly up to the timing of said patches, and partly up to the judgement of the re and portmgr teams as to whether or not the patches have had sufficient time to mature. Under no circumstances will any of the available options be enabled by default. FreeBSD's philosophy has always been "Tools, not policy," and I can't think of a better example of when this is a good idea.
