[Pdns-users] PowerDNS Recursor 4.0.0 Alpha 3 released

[Peter van Dijk]

Hello Steinar,

I’m not sure how I got it to build without this before (perhaps I 
cheated in some way) but I just tested again and we definitely need this 
patch.

I have submitted it at https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/pull/4396

For future reference, if you feel things are not progressing on a patch 
or issue, please file an issue or a pull request at github so we don’t 
lose track!

Kind regards,
