Hello, BIND operators -- Last week we announced the availability of the November 2020 maintenance releases of BIND: 9.11.25, 9.16.9, and 9.17.7
Several reporters have made us aware that there was a problem with the man pages in the 9.11.25 release (and only that release -- 9.16.9 and 9.17.7 were not affected.) Those who are curious about how this occurred can read the details on issue #2310 on the BIND project's Gitlab tracker: https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/issues/2310 but the quick version is: - an update to a tool used in our build process included changes to some style sheets that affected the man pages generated - the problem has been corrected and will not affect future versions - since the only affected components were man pages we did not feel the problem was serious enough to require re-issuing the release - however, we have created a tar archive containing corrected versions of the 9.11.25 man pages which can be overlaid on top of the unpacked release to fix the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here's how to correct the man 9.11.25 man pages if you wish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) If you have not already done so, download the BIND 9.11.25 source (https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.11.25/bind-9.11.25.tar.gz) and unpack its contents 2) Download bind-9.11.25-fixed-man-pages.tar.gz from the release directory (https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.11.25/bind-9.11.25-fixed-man-pages.tar.gz) 3) Unpack the bind-9.11.25-fixed-man-pages.tar.gz file in the top level of the source unpacked from bind-9.11.25.tar.gz in stage (1), overwriting the broken man pages with corrected versions 4) Proceed to configure, make, and install BIND 9.11.25 as usual ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, Michael McNally ISC Support _______________________________________________ bind-announce mailing list bind-announce@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-announce
