- Merge release notes from all 9.15.x releases, leaving only those
which do not apply to BIND 9.14.
- Add missing GitLab/RT issue identifiers.
- Update "Introduction", "Note on Version Numbering", and "End of
Life" sections with BIND 9.16 information.
- Add a GitLab merge request number to the "trust-anchors" release
note and slightly rephrase its second half.
- Replace tabs with spaces in doc/arm/notes-9.15.7.xml to retain
consistency with other XML files containing release notes.
- Move the "Security Fixes" section for BIND 9.15.6 higher up, for
consistency with release notes for other versions.
Intertwining release notes from different BIND releases in a single XML
file has caused confusion in the past due to different (and often
arbitrary) approaches to keeping/removing release notes from older
releases on different BIND branches. Divide doc/arm/notes.xml into
per-version sections to simplify determining the set of changes
introduced by a given release and to make adding/reviewing release notes
less error-prone.
Previously the autoconf script set sysconfdir to /etc and localstatedir to /var
if they were not explicitly set in the ./configure invocation. This MR reverts
the override and make it more in line with default and generally expected
autoconf behavior.
Since 2008, the cleaning-interval timer has been documented as
"effectively obsolete" and disabled in the default configuration with
a comment saying "now meaningless".
This change deletes all the code that implements the cleaning-interval
timer, except for the config parser in whcih it is now explicitly
marked as obsolete.
I have verified (using the deletelru and deletettl cache stats) that
named still cleans the cache after this change.
