[Pdns-users] New snapshot build of the authoritative server

[bert hubert]

Hi everybody,

With all the action currently focussed on the PowerDNS Recursor, currently
powering over 40 million internet connections (see
http://blog.netherlabs.nl/articles/2006/08/09/running-powerdns-actually-makes-a-difference
), there has been a steady stream of bugs reported against the main PowerDNS
authoritative server.

To address these issues, we are heading up to a release, but this is some
ways off. 

In the meantime, people facing PowerDNS crashes might want to check out
the snapshot release of the authoritative server available on:

http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/882/pdns-2.9.21-svn.20060819.882.tar.gz
http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/882/pdns-static-2.9.21.20060819.882-1.i386.rpm
http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/882/pdns-static_2.9.21.20060819.882-1_i386.deb

These snapshot releases have not had any serious testing, but may be
interesting if you need to solve your current problems.

These packages also contain a build of the PowerDNS Recursor, but it has not
been compiled for performance, and will perform around 40% less than the
regular PowerDNS recursor releases.

Please let us know how this release works for you.

	Bert
