Restructure the section about dynamic zones and automatic signing:
- Focus on dynamic zones with 'auto-dnssec allow;'.
- Add a section about multi-signer models.
- Move NSEC3 related topics into one section.
- Remove any text that does not concern dynamic zones (mostly duplicate
text anyway).
Move bits from the "DNSSEC, Dynamic Zones, and Automatic Signing"
about denial of existence to a separate section below the "Key and
Signing Policy" section.
Add a brief introduction about denial of existence to this section.
Restructure the first part of the DNSSEC chapter that deals with zone
signing. Put dnssec-policy first. Mention Key and Signing Policy.
Only then talk about the DNSSEC tools.
Make clear that inline-signing stores DNSSEC records in a signed
version of the zone, using the zone's filename plus ".signed" extension.
Tell that dynamic zones store updates in the zone's filename.
DNSSEC records for dynamic zones also go in the zone's filename, unless
inline-signing is enabled.
Then, dnssec-policy assumes inline-signing, but only if the zone is
not dynamic.
It turns out it is easier to regenerate Sphinx-mandated structure in
get_objects than to maintain two separate data structures. I should have
realized that before.
New directive .. statementlist:: generates table of statements in a
the given domain (named.conf or rndc.conf). The table contains link to
definition, short description, and also list of tags.
Short description and tags have to be provided by user using optional
parameters. E.g.:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
:tags: resolver, cache
:short: Short description
.. statementlist:: is currently not parametrized.
This modification is based on Sphinx "tutorial" extension "TODO".
The main trick is to use placeholder node for .. statementlist:: and
replace it with table at later stage, when all source files were
processed and all cross-references can be resolved.
Beware, some details in Sphinx docs are not up-to-date, it's better
to read Sphinx and docutil sources.
New and currently unused values can be provided using this syntax:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
:tags: resolver, cache
:short: Short description
The domain stores them in its internal structures for further use.
The extension provides a "Sphinx domain factory". Each new Sphinx domain
defines a namespace for configuration statements so named.conf and
rndc.conf do not clash. Currently the Sphinx domains are instantiated
twice and resuling domains are named "namedconf" and "rndcconf".
This commit adds a single new directive:
.. statement:: max-cache-size
It is namespaced like this:
.. namedconf:statement:: max-cache-size
This directive generates a new anchor for configuration statement and it
can be referenced like :any:`max-cache-size` (if the identifier is
unique), or more specific :namedconf:ref:`max-cache-size`.
It is based on Sphinx "tutorial" extension "recipe".
Beware, some details in Sphinx docs are not up-to-date, it's better
to read Sphinx and docutil sources.
After enormous amount of bikesheding about colors we decided to override
ReadTheDocs default style for literals (``literal`` in the RST markup).
Justification:
- The default RTD "light red literal on white background" is hard to
read. https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ reports that text
colored as rgb(231, 76, 60) on white background has insufficient
contrast.
- The ARM has enormous amount of literals all over the place and thus
one sentence can contain several black/red/black color changes. This
is distracting. As a consequence, the ARM looks like a Geronimo
Stilton book.
What we experimented with as replacements for red:
- Green - way too distracting
- Blue - too similar to "usual clickable link"
- Violet - too Geronimo Stilton style
- Brown - better but still distracting
After all the bikesheding we settled on black, i.e. the same as all
"normal" text. I.e. the color is now the same and literals are denoted
by monospaced font and a box around the literal. This has best contrast
and is way less distracting than it used to be.
This lead to a new problem: Internal references to "term definitions"
defined using directives like .. option:: were rendered almost the same
as literals:
- References: monospaced + box + bold + clickable
- Literals: monospaced + box To distinguish these two we added black
dotted underline to clickable references.
I hereby declare the bikeshed painted.
RTD style default never wraps <th> and <td> elements and that just does
not work for real sentences or any other long lines.
We can reconsider styling some tables separately, but at the moment we
do not have use for tables with long but unwrappable lines so it's
easier to allow wrapping globally.
Remove the line "This address must appear in the secondary server’s
parental-agents zone clause". This line is a copy paste error from
notify-source.
Rewrap.
We have had perpetual problem with Sphinx implicitly double-including
files. To avoid that problem all files with name suffix .inc.rst are now
ignored by Sphinx, and writter can conveniently include them without
modifying conf.py for each and every file.
Default paths were not substituted correctly when Python-only build was
used, i.e. it affected only ReadTheDocs. The incorrect rst_epilog was
overriden by Makefile for all "ordinary" builds.
This error was introduced by 3f78c60539.

The DNS catalog zones draft version 5 document requires that catalog
zones consumers must reset the member zone's internal zone state when
its unique label changes (either within the same catalog zone or
during change of ownership performed using the "coo" property).
BIND already behaves like that, and, in fact, doesn't support keeping
the zone state during change of ownership even if the unique label
has been kept the same, because BIND always removes the member zone
and adds it back during unique label renaming or change of ownership.
Document the described behavior and add a log message to inform when
unique label renaming occurs.
Add a system test case with unique label renaming.
This seems to be most appropriate way to ensure consistency between
release tarballs and public presentation on ReadTheDocs.
Previous attempt with removing docutils constraint, which relied on pip
depedency solver to pick the same packages as in CI was flawed. RTD
installs a bit different set of packages so it was inherently
unreliable.
As a result RTD pulled in sphinx-rtd-theme==0.4.3 while CI
had 1.0.0, and this inconsistency caused Table of Contents in Release
Notes to render incorrectly. Previous solution was to downgrade
docutils to < 0.17, but I think we should rather pin exact versions.

Currently our CI images we use to build docs (which subsequently get
into release tarballs) are using docutils 0.17.1, which is latest version
which fulfills Sphinx 4.5.0 requirement for docutils < 0.18.
The old requirement for docutils < 0.17 was causing discrepancy between
the way we build release artifacts and the docs on ReadTheDocs.org which
uses doc/arm/requirements.txt from our repo.
Remove the limit for RDT with hope that it will pull latest permissible
version of docutils.
