The test works as follows:
1. Client wants to resolve unusual ip6.arpa. name:
test1.test2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.9.0.9.4.1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IN TXT
2. Query is sent to ns7, a qmin enabled resolver.
3. ns7 do the first stage in query minimization for the name and send a new
query to root (ns1):
_.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IN A
4. ns1 delegates ip6.arpa. to ns2.good.:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
;ip6.arpa. 20 IN NS ns2.good.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
;ns2.good. 20 IN A 10.53.0.2
5. ns7 do a second round in minimizing the name and send a new query
to ns2.good. (10.53.0.2):
_.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IN A
6. ans2 delegates 8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. to ns3.good.:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
;8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 60 IN NS ns3.good.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
;ns3.good. 60 IN A 10.53.0.3
7. ns7 do a third round in minimizing the name and send a new query to
ns3.good.:
_.1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IN A
8. ans3 delegates 1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. to ns4.good.:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
;1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 60 IN NS ns4.good.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
;ns4.good. 60 IN A 10.53.0.4
9. ns7 do fourth round in minimizing the name and send a new query to
ns4.good.:
_.9.4.1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IN A
10. ns4.good. doesn't know such name, but answers stating it is authoritative for
the domai:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 53815
...
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 60 IN SOA ns4.good. ...
11. ns7 do another minimization on name:
_.9.0.9.4.1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
sends to ns4.good. and gets the same SOA response stated in item #10
12. ns7 do another minimization on name:
_.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.9.0.9.4.1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
sends to ns4.good. and gets the same SOA response stated in item #10.
13. ns7 do the last query minimization name for the ip6.arpa. QNAME.
After all IPv6 labels are exausted the algorithm falls back to the
original QNAME:
test1.test2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.9.0.9.4.1.1.1.1.8.2.6.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
ns7 sends a new query with the original QNAME to ans4.
14. Finally ans4 answers with the expected response:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 40969

The $SYSTEMTESTTOP shell variable if often set to .. in various shell
scripts inside bin/tests/system/, but most of the time it is only
used one line later, while sourcing conf.sh. This hardly improves
code readability.
$SYSTEMTESTTOP is also used for the purpose of referencing
scripts/files living in bin/tests/system/, but given that the
variable is always set to a short, relative path, we can drop it and
replace all of its occurrences with the relative path without adversely
affecting code readability.
The rewrite of BIND 9 build system is a large work and cannot be reasonable
split into separate merge requests. Addition of the automake has a positive
effect on the readability and maintainability of the build system as it is more
declarative, it allows conditional and we are able to drop all of the custom
make code that BIND 9 developed over the years to overcome the deficiencies of
autoconf + custom Makefile.in files.
This squashed commit contains following changes:
- conversion (or rather fresh rewrite) of all Makefile.in files to Makefile.am
by using automake
- the libtool is now properly integrated with automake (the way we used it
was rather hackish as the only official way how to use libtool is via
automake
- the dynamic module loading was rewritten from a custom patchwork to libtool's
libltdl (which includes the patchwork to support module loading on different
systems internally)
- conversion of the unit test executor from kyua to automake parallel driver
- conversion of the system test executor from custom make/shell to automake
parallel driver
- The GSSAPI has been refactored, the custom SPNEGO on the basis that
all major KRB5/GSSAPI (mit-krb5, heimdal and Windows) implementations
support SPNEGO mechanism.
- The various defunct tests from bin/tests have been removed:
bin/tests/optional and bin/tests/pkcs11
- The text files generated from the MD files have been removed, the
MarkDown has been designed to be readable by both humans and computers
- The xsl header is now generated by a simple sed command instead of
perl helper
- The <irs/platform.h> header has been removed
- cleanups of configure.ac script to make it more simpler, addition of multiple
macros (there's still work to be done though)
- the tarball can now be prepared with `make dist`
- the system tests are partially able to run in oot build
Here's a list of unfinished work that needs to be completed in subsequent merge
requests:
- `make distcheck` doesn't yet work (because of system tests oot run is not yet
finished)
- documentation is not yet built, there's a different merge request with docbook
to sphinx-build rst conversion that needs to be rebased and adapted on top of
the automake
- msvc build is non functional yet and we need to decide whether we will just
cross-compile bind9 using mingw-w64 or fix the msvc build
- contributed dlz modules are not included neither in the autoconf nor automake
qname minimization, even in relaxed mode, can fail on
some very broken domains. In relaxed mode, instead of
asking for "foo.bar NS" ask for "_.foo.bar A" to either
get a delegation or NXDOMAIN. It will require more queries
than regular mode for proper NXDOMAINs.
