as previously announced, the BIND 9.21 (development branch) has
changed the build system from venerable autotools to meson
build system. If you build BIND 9 from sources now would be a
good time to try building the development version from sources
and report any issues you find to our GitLab issue tracker or
raise any questions here.
Packagers might want to pull patch 0002 and 0003 from here:
https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/bind9/-/tree/debian/9.21/debian/patches?ref_type=heads
The patch 0002 removes the RUNPATH/RPATH from the binaries and
the 0003 patch restores the previous naming of the libraries
where upstream version is part of the library name. There
might be more tweaks coming related to SONAME and SOVERSION.
I extracted BIND 9.21.11, and ... since meson is "new to me", I
tried looking around for the replacement of the backbone reflex
of doing
sh ./configure ....
make
make install
But by the looks of it, none can be found anywhere inside the
BIND distribution. Yes, I also tried a cursory glance in the
doc/ subdirectory.
It would have been nice if a few lines of hints for how this is
customarily done or "what is the minimum you can get away with"
(which isn't necessarily the same as what is customarily done)
was provided somewhere easily accessible.
Some false starts:
: {142} ; meson setup
ERROR: Must specify at least one directory name.
: {143} ; meson setup .
ERROR: Source and build directories must not be the same. Create a pristine
build directory.
: {144} ; pwd
/usr/local/src/bind-9.21.11
: {145} ;
at which point I simply gave up and decided instead to expose my
own inexperience with meson by asking for help, hence this message.
Does

help?
