The "To-Do" list still has: Required features for 5.3-RELEASE +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Issue | Status | Responsible | Description | |-----------------+-------------+---------------+------------------------| | BIND9 import | In progress | Doug Barton | BIND9 must be imported | | into 5-CURRENT | | | for 5.3-RELEASE. | |-----------------+-------------+---------------+------------------------| Also, Doug talked about this at the devsummit that took place during Usenix at the end of June. He is waiting for a specific official release to happen from the BIND9 folks, because it has some important improvements to the BIND9 branch. But he is confident that once the official release is made, that he can install it into the base system right away. If that release does not happen before our code-freeze, then he has an alternate plan that he is confident in. Note that the BIND9 folks do a lot of their development on FreeBSD, so when the official release of BIND9 happens, it is an official release which is already known to be working on FreeBSD. This item has been "in progress" only because we are waiting for the new version, and not because Doug has been having any problems with BIND9. That was the word at the devsummit, and I doubt much has changed since then. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
