</div>That's the first I've ever heard of djb's $1000 prize being awarded<br>
too! :)<br><a href="https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers" target="_blank"></a></blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Good grief. I thought I'd found a package that would never need an update -- the last one was in 2001 -- and this happens! OK, suggest we don't release this package until djb releases a new version of djbdns, which appears to be imminent.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Re. the suggestion on patches, maybe. I've incorporated none at the moment, as I need none. Most relate to sub-optimal behaviour for caching, which I don't use djbware for so, I've no experience of. Some might be incorporated anyway as part of the next djbdns release, I'll have to wait and see.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Re. the idea we could package an integration with daemontools, we could, but for which server? caching? authority? udp or tcp too? available for all, or just for some sub-section of the internet? Bound to which iface? All these things require manual config with djbdns so I'm not minded to do this at all. A package would have to guess what the admin wanted, and I think there are too many unknowns.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks for the prompt feedback. Please go ahead with more testing.</span></div>
