[aur-general] Proposing knot-resolver for community repo
Hi, I'd like to ask if you'd consider adopting knot-resolver from AUR [1] into the community repo. The main reason is that the Knot DNS dependency is in the community repository and a soname bump requires a rebuild of Knot Resolver. This happens about twice a year. As you can see from the AUR comments, the users are often confused if they don't do the rebuild and Knot Resolver breaks. Any further debugging is probably quite complicated, since if they use the software as their system resolver, it effectively breaks the DNS resolution, thus preventing access to internet. The knot-resolver package should be quite low maintenance. We (upstream) use sysusers & tmpfiles, ship ready-to-use systemd units and the build time is less than a minute on my laptop. We also have our own upstream PKGBUILD we keep up-to-date [2], so a simple diff of this file against PKGBUILD should be sufficient for any significant changes. It'd be great if any TU (preferably Knot DNS maintainer) could maintain this package in the community repo. Thank you for the consideration!
