BIND 9.16

Summary

BIND 9 would be updated to upcoming stable version BIND 9.16.

Owner

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 34
  • Last updated: 2021-01-14
  • FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

ISC BIND 9 stayed longer time on 9.11 Extended Support Version, because dhcp and freeipa depended on it. DHCP package no longer requires bind-export-libs, which new BIND 9.16 does not support. FreeIPA part bind-dyndb-ldap were also modified to support new version.

BIND 9.16 includes more easy way to provide DNSSEC ([KASP|https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/wikis/DNSSEC-Key-and-Signing-Policy-(KASP)].

Feedback

Benefit to Fedora

Version under most active development is packaged again. Introduces [DNSSEC Key and Signing Policy|https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/wikis/DNSSEC-Key-and-Signing-Policy-(KASP)] without external tools like opendnssec. Also client tools from *bind-utils* now support yaml export format (dig, mdig, delv).
