I use the small C utility ez-ipupdate to keep a dynamic DNS account up-to-date with ZoneEdit, a free dynamic DNS provider. Recently, ZoneEdit changed the page that updates A records; ez-ipupdate needs to be changed to reflect this.
Here's where I run into an issue. I've managed to successfully patch the code to make it work again, but I can't get in touch with the upstream maintainer. His personal email and mailing list are both hosted on a system that doesn't exist (at least according to DNS - ironic, no?). His "contact me" page returns a 404. Several other links on his site are broken or outdated. What's the "Gentoo way" here? Should I keep trying to get in touch with the maintainer, file a bug in Gentoo Bugzilla, or just live with it? For reference, here's the relevant links: The ez-ipupdate home page: http://ez-ipupdate.com/ The ZoneEdit home page: http://www.zoneedit.com/ The package in portage: http://gentoo-portage.com/net-dns/ez-ipupdate -Tim -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
