-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For each major RHEL release, Redhat starts with some version of ISC bind, and then backports patches into it from more recent versions. This leads to an RPM containing about 50 patches. The advantage of this approach is that customers with existing /etc/named.conf configuration won't be broken by unexpected upgrades to a newer version.
But some people want the features in the newest stable version, and others are installing a new machine with no pre-existing named.conf that might be broken. I started with the .spec file from EL6, removed all but two patches, and now have a 9.9.1-P1 source rpm that will build on EL4, EL5, EL6. There are NO patches to the .c code, so the line numbers in any traceback will match the line numbers in the 9.9.1-P1 tarball from ISC. http://www.five-ten-sg.com/util/bind-9.9.1-0.1.P1.fc18.src.rpm EL4: rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist .el4' \ bind-9.9.1-0.1.P1.fc18.src.rpm EL5: rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist .el5' \ bind-9.9.1-0.1.P1.fc18.src.rpm EL6: rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'dist .el6' \ bind-9.9.1-0.1.P1.fc18.src.rpm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk//EtgACgkQL6j7milTFsF7IACfcaC0MzK2kXMzhjzzpef9CtDb S68AnRETE66ONZP+fplLmWopfSkIQbYK =TXAq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
