  • BIND upgrade?

    From Louis Epstein@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 29 07:18:01 2020
    At the present time pkg upgrade wants to remove bind914 but says nothing about installing bind916...though bind-tools uses 916 and will upgrade.

    I run DNS and don't want to delete my nameserver program.

    What needs to be done to make sure I keep BIND running?

    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

    bind914 was removed from ports entirely. bind-tools is a slave port that
    was changed to reference bind916 instead.

    The obvious answer is: install bind916. If I missed anything here,
    please clarify.

    Wanting to be sure that bind916 will inherit the files used by bind914
    and deleting bind914 will not remove them.

    Why isnt 916 treated as an upgrade of 914?

    Seems sorted now...did make install on 916 which requires 914 be deleted first, and DNS is running with 916.

    FreeBSD packages never remove user configuration on uninstall. Taking a
    backup is still a good idea, as a buggy package *could* overwrite a
    config file with a default from upstream on installation (although that shouldn't happen. I've never seen it happen with bind).

    Why isnt 916 treated as an upgrade of 914?

    Because the maintainer decided to make them two separate ports, so both
    version could co-exist for some time. As for the following "why", you'd
    have to ask the port's maintainer ;)
