[Pkg-freeipa-devel] Bug#942499: src:bind-dyndb-ldap: libbind-dev is going to be removed; let's decide what to do

[Ondřej Surý]

Package: src:bind-dyndb-ldap
Version: 11.1-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the BIND 9 libraries public API has been replaced by just internal private
libraries where the APIs are in flux.  We need to decide what to do with the
package.

I think that the best course of action might be engulfing the source code of the
bind-dyndb-ldap into BIND 9 package and build it along with the rest of the BIND
9 to keep it very tightly coupled with BIND 9 release and not worry about the
library versioning.

I am pretty much sure that the whole thing will break with BIND 9.16 release
because we (as in upstream) did a major refactoring of many APIs in
non-backwards compatible manner.

Any thoughts on that?

Ondrej
