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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the prompt feedback. Please go ahead with more testing.

Gary
