- some of these tests are obsolete and should be cleared up,
others overlap with ATF tests and may be removed later.
for now, let's just tidy up the bin/tests directory by
moving these files down a level.
- turn off some of the build tests
- increase test threads to 8
- build with --disable-static
- suppress the non-system tests under bin/tests (timers, task, etc)
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]
to 10. Allow setting this in named.conf using the new
'resolver-query-timeout' option, which specifies a max
time in seconds. 0 means 'default' and anything longer
than 30 will be silently set to 30. [RT #22852]
