Greetings, A few minutes ago, the second release candidate of BIND 9.10.0 was published and announced. I wanted to send out a brief note regarding one of the changes.
In 9.10.0b2 we introduced a handy new tool to the BIND suite, a lookup and validation utility called "delve". The name was obviously a pun on "dig" (with reference to a classic nursery rhyme, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One,_Two,_Buckle_My_Shoe), and also a shout-out to NLNetLabs's excellent "drill". Alas! It was brought to our attention a few days ago that this created a namespace conflict: The Xapian search engine, it turns out, already includes a tool called "delve", and has for several years. So, after consultation with the bottoms of one or two bottles, and consideration of several alternative names (including "dredge", "bore", "shovel" and -- taking it in a slightly different direction -- "groove") we decided to simply send the second 'e' in "delve" off to wherever the one from creat() went. The tool will now be called "delv". (I plan to continue pronouncing it the same way.) My apologies to the Xapian project for the oversight: no disrespect was intended, I simply didn't know. Apologies also to any early adopters of delv who may be inconvenienced by the change. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ 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
