You appear to want people to supply you with a new patch because there is a minor change in the code. You were the one complaining about the lack of info. That certainly looks like you "need" info to keep using the code. "and no info on the 3rd-party rpz2 patches since the 9.9.4 release, we're downgrading to rpz1, as included in the supported Bind release (ack'd that rpz2 will be 'in' 9.10.x)." > You're of course welcome to use/apply any undocumented/unsupported > patches you choose to.

The existing patches work fine and unless you are paying Vernon to support you he is under no obligation to respond to you. When the previous -P came out the advice given to the list was "just apply the patch". > Tho, now that you mention it, one DOES wonder that if it's so > 'obvious', why ISC is waiting until 9.10.x to include it in the code > ... Because we broke the rule about including a chunks of new code in a non .0 release for this and additional changes are of a level where we would normally only add them at a .0 release. > In any case, my question was what the diffs are, and any hints on downgrading > . > > That's all taken care of, so - thanks. > _______________________________________________ > 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 -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org _______________________________________________ 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
