Fedora 8 shipped with an BIND 9.5.0a6, recently updated to 9.5.0a7.
The release announcement for BIND says:
BIND 9.5.0a7 is a alpha release for BIND 9.5.0.
This is a technology preview of new functionality to be be
released in BIND 9.5.0. New APIs are not yet frozen.
Is this an appropriate release to be putting in a stable Fedora
release? I've encounted a segfault in this version, which I've
reported here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400461
I'm concerned about the policies which allow unstable software in
stable Fedora releases. Is it considered acceptable/encouraged to
have alpha versions of software in the stable release? Is there any
policy?
Thanks.
I've put this software to F8 because it has nice new features. Some
bugs is tax for them. Additionally I don't think that users use newest
Fedora on important servers and 9.5 will come into beta stage very
soon.
