While backporting !5934 I noticed a copy&paste mistake in TSIG
chapter of the ARM.
The incorrect reference was introduced by "Add hyperlinks from
program options to definition in man pages" commit but it is not
worth creating separate MR for that when the backport is not merged
yet.
The named.conf grammar is exported to the manual via
doc/misc/rst-options.pl which is the ultimate source
for the non-grammar parts of the man page.
(cherry picked from commit ad5b0402c9)
Replace :manpage: with :iscman: to generate internal hyperlinks. That
way reader can use links even when offline, and jumps to man pages
for the same version.
Formerly HTML version of man pages did not have links in See Also
section because :manpage: role in Sphinx can generate only external
hyperlinks - and we do not have that enabled.
Enabling the Sphinx :manpage: linking could reliably create hyperlinks
only to external URLs, but that would take users to another version
of docs.
Generated by:
find bin -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e 's/:manpage:`\([^(]\+\)(\([0-9]\))`/:iscman:`\1(\2) <\1>`/g'
+ hand-edit to revert change for mmencode reference which is
not provided in our source tree.
(cherry picked from commit 1d4d008fc9)
Use the new role :iscman: to replace all occurences or ``binary``
with :iscman:`binary`, creating a hyperlink to the manual page.
Generated using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. iscman' | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst > /tmp/progs
for PROG in $(cat /tmp/progs); do find -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e "s/\`\`$PROG\`\`/:iscman:\`$PROG\`/g"; done
Additional hand-edits were done mainly around filter-aaaa and
filter-a which are program names and and option names at the
same time. Couple more edits was neede to fix .rst syntax broken by
automatic replacement.
(cherry picked from commit 53a5776025)
The new directive and role "iscman" allow to tag & reference man pages in
our source tree. Essentially it is just namespacing for ISC man pages,
but it comes with couple benefits.
Differences from .. _man_program label we formerly used:
- Does not expand :ref:`man_program` into full text of the page header.
- Generates index entry with category "manual page".
- Rendering style is closer to ubiquitous to the one produced
by ``named`` syntax.
Differences from Sphinx built-in :manpage: role:
- Supports all builders with support for cross-references.
- Generates internal links (unlike :manpage: which generates external
URLs).
- Checks that target exists withing our source tree.
(cherry picked from commit 7e7a946d44)
The dig man page wanted -h option hyperlink and anchor, and there
were a couple of missing cross-references in the rndc man page.
(cherry picked from commit ccc6378355)
Side-effect of hyperlinking is that typos in program and option names
are now detected by Sphinx.
Candidate -options were detected using:
find -name *.rst | xargs grep '``-[^`]'
and then modified from ``-o`` to :option:`-o` using regex
s/``\(-[^`]\+\)``/:option:`\1`/
+ manual modifications where necessary.
Non-hyphenated options were detected by looking at context around
program names:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst | sort -u
and grepping for program name with trailing whitespace.
Stand-alone program names like ``named`` are not hyperlinked in this
commit.
(cherry picked from commit a85df3ff9c)
The markup allows referencing individual options, and also makes them
more legible (no more thin red text on gray background).
Most of the work was done using regexes:
s/^``-\(.*\)``$/.. option:: -\1\r/
s/^``+\(.*\)``$/.. option:: +\1\r/
on bin/**/*.rst files along with visual inspection and hand-edits,
mostly for positional arguments.
Regex for rndc.rst:
s/^``\(.*\)``/.. option:: \1\r/
+ hand edits to remove extra asterisk and whitespace here and there.

Building BIND 9 with older version of BIND 9 installed would result in
build failure. Fix the last two remaining cases where <prog>_CFLAGS was
being used leading to wrong order of the build flags on the command line.

The named-checkzone(1) and named-compilezone(1) manual pages used to
refer to the description of wildcards in RFC 1034.

Remove outdated command references from ARM section
3.3.1. Tools for Use With the Name Server Daemon
and replace them with links to man pages.
Fixes: #2799
(cherry picked from commit 2d2d87a615)
Both utilities were included as one man page, but this caused a problem:
Sphinx directive .. include was used twice on the same file, which
prevented us from using labels (or anything with unique identifier) in
the man pages. This effectivelly prevented linking to them.
Splitting man pages allows us to solve the linking problems and also
clearly make text easier to follow because it does not mention two tools
at the same time.
This change causes duplication of text, but given the frequecy of changes
to these tools I think it is acceptable. I've considered deduplication
using smaller .rst snippets which get included into both man pages,
but it would require more sed scripting to handle defaults etc. and
I think it would be way too complex solution for this problem.

There are no longer any Python utilities in BIND: like Perl it is now
used for test scripts and generating some documentation and source
files.

GitLab replaced RT, we don't support 1990s operating systems, we
like wrapped paragraphs, and we don't need that extra comma.
(cherry picked from commit 328d11297d)
This feature never made it through the 9.9 development cycle; it is
now covered by `rndc signing` which is adequately documented
elsewhere.
(cherry picked from commit 6be83f2eb7)
the "zone" clause can be documented using, for instance,
`cfg_test --zonegrammar primary", which prints only
options that are valid in primary zones. this was not
the method being used when generating the named.conf
man page; instead, "zone" was documented with all possible
options, and no zone types at all.
this commit removes "zone" from the generic documentation
and adds include statements in named.conf.rst so that
correct zone grammars will be included in the man page.
(cherry picked from commit 4ca74eee49)
we now document zone type as either "primary" or "secondary",
omitting the old terms (though they are still accepted).
(cherry picked from commit 0bde07261b)
"masters" and "default-masters" are now flagged so they will
not be included in the named.conf man page, despite being
accepted as valid options by the parser for backward
compatibiility.
(cherry picked from commit 0e57fc160e)
Add a note to the DNSSEC guide and to the ARM reference that A ZSK/KSK
pair used for signing your zone should have the same algorithm.
This commit also updates the 'dnssec-policy/keys' example to use the
slightly more modern 'rsasha256' algorithm.
(cherry picked from commit 7365400610)
For users it's not really important if a RFC is Internet Standard,
Proposed Standard, or Experimental. RFCs are now regrouped by
"Protocol", Best Current Practice, and "catch all" category FYI.
(cherry picked from commit 7fd61f9403)
In 2022, IPv6 is not anything unusual, and it was really odd
to have it in a separate section next to a huge list of RFCs.
Fixes: #1918
(cherry picked from commit 2774b497a6)
There is little point of listing all of the obsolete RFCs. I think it is
more likely confuse people than to do anything useful.
