https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D263499 Leo Vandewoestijne <freebsd@dns.company> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |freebsd@dns.company --- Comment #5 from Leo Vandewoestijne <freebsd@dns.company> --- (In reply to Alexey Dokuchaev from comment #4) > Guys, this is ridiculous. Just add the option > ... > The "I don't like it" reason of closing the original bug #253480 is bogus. > That was just one "argument". The other being amount of security advisories of Bind itself: the more security advisories, the worse the software - right? Once ago, in 9.16 or before, I needed TUNING_LARGE, while serving large zon= es (some over 20GB). It made the difference between being able to use this software or hitting hardware limits with inefficient software. Received the same "too many options / I don't like it". Meaning becoming unable to use B= ind unless making an own installer. It's frustrating since the ports are meant = to install software, and nice for doing so. Anyway, I just made a patch to accomplish what was desired in #253480 Turned out to be identical with what was submitted. Testing in Poudriere (starting from zero) costed me half a day, while having a 16 core CPU. So, contrary... stand in the maintainers shoes for a while... It's timeconsuming and sometimes indeed complicated. I understand both parties arguments: look at the dependencies: at least 142 packages by default when you start f= rom zero... (of which a whole bunch that are simply ridiculous for running a DNS daemon= ). Then yes, you would wish to keep things minimal. But that's actually an argument in favor of what the reporter is asking! (or better in plural: what reporters are asking). Since [a] libxml2 is by default not required and [b] maintainer wish to keep things simple, I suggest -unless selected by user- to actively prevent it -= also at dns/bind916-, using '--without-libxml2' since the default is 'auto' (not 'no' as -maybe- suggested above). I just tested both dns/bind916 and dns/bind918 with this, and both went fin= e. Creating a separate port to accomplish this, doesn't seem a wise way to me. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
