PowerDNS is missing in Mageia 8

[borg]

PowerDNS package is in Mageia 1-7 repositories, but missing in Mageia 8.

Mageia 7 - pdns

Mageia 8 - pdns
https://madb.mageia.org/package/list/t_search/pdns/release/8/application/0/arch/x86_64

Why PoweDNS is not in Mageia 8?

Hi there, it has been obsoleted 19 months ago, because the Mageia package is not maintainted, and there have been security issues to fix.

We probably should review the list of dropped packages

Hello,

You might want to test this :

(sudo or root)

Code: Select all

 urpmi.addmedia --update "Mageia.biz for Mageia 8 - Free" https://mageia.biz/repo/Mageia/mgabiz/8/x86_64/media/free/updates/


Then

Code: Select all

urpmq --fuzzy -i pdns

Note: This is a package i've done for my own needs (starting from the .src.rpm we have in mga7)... it uses the last 4.7.3 PowerDNS version without extra patching.

Warnings :

1. It is not an officialy supported Mageia package. Use if for testing (and for giving me feedback) but if you want to use it in production make sure that you know what you are doing !
2. As there is a bug in the testing suite it has been disabled in the pdns.spec file (otherwise it would not finish the package build)

By the way I also packaged the last versions of the power dns redirector and the dnsdist load balancer

The last is currently built with default options (no extra feature enabled) but i can change that...

Feel free to comment and give me feedback

@maat, I spotted on dev mail list that another person is working on packaging these. Maybe you two can share tips and cooperate?
