This got old for me really fast, so I ended up writing a small script to do this for me… WARNING: This works for me, but doesn't do a huge amount of error checking, may completely trash your machine, cause male pattern baldness, etc. It is in: http://www.auth-servers.net/files/named/upgrade_bind_unattended.sh I run this out of cron every few minutes. It downloads a file called bind_versions.txt (from INSTRUCT_URL). This file contains key value pairs specifying the hostname and version of BIND that that host should be running, something like: ns1: 9.9.1 ns2: 9.8.0 If the hostname is not running the specified version it will: 1: Delete everything in /usr/local/src/bind/ (!) 2: Download the source from ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/$BIND_VER/ 3: Check the GPG signature. 4: Build the new BIND and install it. 5: Restart BIND 6: Send mail saying that it is done… I use puppet to push to install this script, and to setup a cronjob to run it (I could have done most of this in puppet itself, but that seems hard :-P) Feel free to update / modify the script to make it work in your environment… W > > > Confidentiality Notice: > This electronic message and any attachments may contain confidential or > privileged information, and is intended only for the individual or entity > identified above as the addressee.
