We have request [1] to rebase unbound to recent version on RHEL8.
yay :)
dug into the code and found relatively simple way to keep ABI unchanged and compatible with version 1.7.3, which is still there. It allows upgrading to unbound 1.15.0 without the need to recompile depending binaries. Or at least it seems so. Would you review the change [2], whether it creates possible regressions? Do you think it might be good idea?
This looks good to me. The only change I would make is instead of using 0x100 RCODE to signal this, to use a value in the 3841-4095 range as technically 256 can become a valid RCODE: https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters/dns-parameters.xhtml#dns-parameters-6
I have already found libreswan does not expect such change and would not build with such version.
You mean to say that with the patch, no recompile is needed right ? Thanks for looking at modernizing rhel8 unbound ! Paul
