<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>> To support a backend, it needs to be tested automatically - preferably after each commit. Our testing infrastructure runs Debian 6, and as far I have seen, setting up Oracle on it would be a pain.<br><div>> <br>> To get the oracle backend into testing, I see two options<br>> (a) provide us with good and reliable instructions on getting Oracle to run on Debian 6, without messing up the system with lots of non-packaged stuff.<br><br>Oh, wow.<br><br>As far as I know, Oracle corporation does not support Debian - the only two Linux operating systems it does support are Oracle enterprise Linux and redhat enterprise Linux, and that with Oracle enterprise Linux essentially being a redhat derivative.<br><br>So as far as Oracle is concerned, one may run an Oracle database on any Linux operating system, so long as that operating system is a redhat enterprise Linux derivative.<br><br>> (b) set up a testing instance on your end. I'm happy to provide any details about our Jenkins setup to make that easy.<br><br>That will be another problem - our company strictly and explicitly forbids using Java anywhere, for anything. And Jenkins a Java application.<br><br>But all things considered, since Solaris 10 can be downloaded for free and does not need a license for development / testing, it is trivial to set up yet another VM.<br><br>Is that out of the question? Should I even ask "why"?<br><br>> Furthermore, the patches in http://wiki.powerdns.com/trac/ticket/527 could use some review from somebody with an actual deployment.<br><br>I do not know enough about DNSsec at this point to be able to competently review the patches submitted in there. We are still working on integrating pdns with Oracle into a turnkey solution, and we haven't gotten to DNSsec yet.<br></div> </div></body>
