Hi,
I'd like to rebase knot and knot-resolver packages to their latest
upstream versions (Knot DNS 2.8.2, Knot Resolver 4.0.0) in EPEL 7.
Reasons
-------
- upstream of Knot DNS supports only 2.7 and 2.8; the knot version in
EPEL 7 (2.6.9) is unsupported and will not receive any more security or
other bugfixes
- upstream of Knot Resolver supports only the latest version which is
binary-compatible only with Knot DNS 2.8+; the version of knot-resolver
in EPEL7 will not receive any more security or other bugfixes
Potential Issues
----------------
- in case the user has made changes to default configuration of Knot
Resolver, manual update of the config file may be required [1]
- in case the user has written custom module for Knot Resolver, a manual
update may be required [1]
Additional info
---------------
- upstream has documented the update process [1], [2] and it should be
seamless for Knot DNS (and default configurations of Knot Resolver)
