Hello Tom,
First of all thank you so much for your suggestions, I really appreciate it.
(In reply to comment #45)
Recommendation: include one initscript per service and make the
names of
the initscripts match the services they control.
Okay, I'll do the changes.
Second, the package is missing some important parts of djbdns --
axfdns,
walldns, and rbldns, for example. While these parts are probably used less
often than dnscache or tinydns, they are well established within DJB's bundle,
and most people will expect them to be included in any package calling itself
"djbdns". Recommendation: include the missing pieces.
Yes, they are in the queue and will be released in due course.
Recommendation: split the package into logical subpackages,
following Pavel Lisý's scheme, which makes a lot of sense from an
administrator's point of view (and ought to be immediately understandable
to anyone familiar with how to deploy from DJB's bundle).
I understand the point, but when I look at so many rpms/subpackages, it just
appears to be confusing to me. Anyway, I'll look at the sub-packaging again and
try to do it.
I was confused about, the few client tools like dnsip/dnsq/dnsname etc. and
with which server(dnscache/tinydns) should I package them or to make a separate
sub package for them.
Fourth, DJB's bundle relied upon the multilog program from
daemontools to
handle logging, whereas our proposed package writes to log files directly.
But multilog did more than just write to files; it also inserted timestamps,
which our logs lack. Timestamps are essential in system logs, so we must
put them back in somehow. Maybe we could use syslog or bring back multilog.
Recommendation: Restore the timestamps in logs.
Yeah, I'm working on the logging part as well, will do the necessary changes.
This package is looking great. I think it's just a few tweaks
away from being
both a good Fedora package and a faithful representation of everything that
made DJB's bundle great. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot Tom, I sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you.
