We're running mostly 9.11, with a couple of hosts running 9.16. We've
been sticking with 9.11 while we waited for 9.16 to be labeled the
Extended Support Version (ESV). The recent announcement of 9.18 made me
go digging to learn . .. 9.16 _is_ the ESV and 9.11 is EOL and will no
longer be supported after March 2022!
https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01540
Here are our current ESV versions and their EOL dates:
BIND 9.11 is our out-going Stable/Extended Support Version, currently in EOL
status, supported until March, 2022.
BIND 9.16 is our current Stable/ESV version.
BIND 9.18 is our newest Stable version.
That document was last updated on Jan 5, 2022, so this news is at least
three weeks old. I don't recall seeing anything on the "Announce"
mailing list regarding the change in ESV designation. Nor do I see any
difference in the COPR packages:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/isc/bind-esv/
which continue to offer 9.11.
Now, I don't expect my 9.11 installation to give me any trouble, and I
don't expect it suddenly stop working in April. But I do expect someone
with a clipboard and checklist to drag me over the coals if they
discover I'm running an "end of life" version without a mitigation plan.
So I gotta start sketching paths from 9.11 -> 9.16 and 9.16 -> 9.18. To
assist me in that, I'm looking for answers to two questions:
A) Where was the ESV-switch announced? (I though I had my bases covered
by subscribing to 'announce' and 'user' mailing lists. I need to find
and plug this communication hole.)
B) What are the plans for the 'bind-esv' COPR? (Will it soon start
serving 9.16? Do I need to manually switch from 'bind-esv' to 'bind'? Is
COPR dead?)
