Hi bind-users, This is a formal notice that the BIND 9 team plans to deprecate the old-style DLZ drivers that had to be enabled at compile time, in favor of DLZ modules that could be compiled independently and could be dynamically loaded at run-time.
The DLZ drivers were added into BIND 9 in 2005 and replaced by the DLZ modules in 2013. The old-style DLZ drivers are no longer actively maintained and are marked as deprecated in contrib/README since 2014. If your operations depend on a DLZ driver, now would be a good time to migrate to DLZ modules. The DLZ drivers will be removed from BIND 9.18 and we will add a deprecation warning into the autoconf script. There are a few DLZ modules missing compared to the DLZ drivers - namely ODBC, PostgreSQL and stub. We would be happy to accept code contributions from the community if you still depend on those. Thanks, Ondrej List of DLZ drivers: dlz_bdb_driver.c dlz_bdbhpt_driver.c dlz_dlopen_driver.c dlz_drivers.c dlz_filesystem_driver.c dlz_ldap_driver.c dlz_mysql_driver.c dlz_odbc_driver.c dlz_postgres_driver.c dlz_stub_driver.c List of DLZ modules: bdbhpt filesystem ldap mysql mysqldyn perl sqlite3 wildcard Ondřej -- Ondřej Surý (He/Him) ond...@isc.org _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
