           Summary: dns/bind916: master/slave -> primary/secondary
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any

Bind has switched terminology from master/slave to primary/secondary.
https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_16_12/introduction.html?highlight=3Dprim=
ary#the-primary-server

When using this more modern terminology it makes sense to also change the n=
ames
of the directories 'master' and 'slave' to 'primary' and 'secondary', which=
 I
did.
I would appreciate it if the make options for the port could include options
like

(*) Use primary/secondary terminology
( ) User master/slave terminology

This would avoid the creation of new directories named 'master' and 'slave'
when updating, as well as the installation of new 'empty.db' and
'localhost-*.db' files in unused directories. On the other hand, it would s=
till
allow existing installations to continue using the old terminology, if desi=
red.

Since Bind now prefers the use of primary/secondary, it would probably also
make sense to use these terms as the default for new installs.

Thanks,
  Rob
