Hi, imho the problem with this is that it is not a change a Distribution would usually take a Delta to the upstream package for. It usually has two ways to resolve such issues and you'll see they are rather similar.
a) an Ubuntu dev likes the case, but since this isn't high prio he can only work on it in spare time. Eventually he has something and submits it upstream. From the next upstream release we will pick it up. b) somebody, mostly people active on the respective project, likes the case. Eventually he has something and submits it upstream. From the next upstream release we will pick it up. Comment #3 here effectively says "a) did n't work out" and that is true. It seems it never was important enough to anyone to code that. But we should not forgot about "b)". And to give that a chance IMHO you should create an upstream bug (or mailing list post) about it. If you end up filing a bug upstream please mention it here as we can then track in which release a change would end up. TL;DR: If you wouldn't mind, please consider filing also an upstream bug about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318975 Title: /usr/bin/host utility cannot change port for DNS querires To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/1318975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
