It's not a matter of "not good enough" it's just brittle. My job is to provide a good sane default for 99% of the use of the software. I can't provide a perfect sane default for any use, so just make up your stuff if you need to. > Instead of simplifying the maintenance of the package you want me to modify > two configuration files (if I do a manual configuration that is normal) but I > also need to change and review on each upgrade two scripts that I would > normally asume that I don't need to touch (in Debian the use of > /etc/default/PACKAGE_NAME usually means that I don't need to touch the scripts > distributed under /etc). You don't need to touch the init.d script, only the one in /etc/resolvconf/update.d/pdnsd, so please, give me a break. For your own system, you can hardcode the thing in there if you want, the merge will be trivial.

I don't like the fact that you have to duplicate configuration in many places. That should just be automatic. and editing /etc/default/pdnsd _and_ /etc/pdnsd.conf is not a good solution. People will never ever guess they need to do things like that. OTOH, why isn't 'any' or 0.0.0.0 suitable for you ? This way, using 127.0.0.1 still works... And if you want my opinion, the best fix is to patch pdnsd to be able to listen on multiple addresses... it's probably not _that_ hard. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
