Short time ago I grabbed the latest tarball from your download site, and generated internal packages. I could have sworn that was 9.8.1-P4 (our internal packages still have the P4, and Google finds some hits):
Perhaps it was 9.8.0-P4? Many of our version names bear a very close resemblance to one another.
PROD:1 mhoskins@adns1:~$ rpm -qa | grep bind bind98-utils-9.8.1-1.P4 bind98-libs-9.8.1-1.P4 bind98-chroot-9.8.1-1.P4 bind98-9.8.1-1.P4 ...which led to mass confusion on how/why "P1" is newer than "P4" -- or if I somehow entered a magic time warp. Were "P4" packages posted for some window of time that were later removed?
No. You can see all versions of ISC BIND 9 that we have released, going back to 9.0.0 in 2004, at ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/ There has never (yet) been a 9.8.1-P4 released by ISC. However, the rpm names you are seeing are assigned by another entity, probably the maintainer of whatever repository you are using (e.g. RedHat.) Repository maintainers have been known to use version numbers similar, but not identical, to those assigned by ISC.
No worries, I will move to P1 given today's date on the tarball. :-)
That's our recommendation. Michael McNally ISC Support _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
