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
- restore support for tcp-initial-timeout, tcp-idle-timeout,
tcp-keepalive-timeout and tcp-advertised-timeout configuration
options, which were ineffective previously.
As signals are currently not handled by named on Windows, instances
terminated using signals are not able to perform a clean shutdown, which
involves e.g. removing the lock file. Thus, waiting for a given
instance's lock file to be removed beforing assuming it is shut down
is pointless on Windows, so do not even attempt it.
bin/tests/system/stop.pl only waits for the PID file to be cleaned up
while named cleans up the lock file after the PID file. Thus, the
aforementioned script may consider a named instance to be fully shut
down when in fact it is not.
Fix by also checking whether the lock file exists when determining a
given instance's shutdown status. This change assumes that if a named
instance uses a lock file, it is called "named.lock".
Also rename clean_pid_file() to pid_file_exists(), so that it is called
more appropriately (it does not clean up the PID file itself, it only
returns the server's identifier if its PID file is not yet cleaned up).
On Unix systems, the CYGWIN environment variable is not set at all when
BIND system tests are run. If a named instance crashes on shutdown or
otherwise fails to clean up its pidfile and the CYGWIN environment
variable is not set, stop.pl will print an uninitialized value warning
on standard error. Prevent this by using defined().
When an inline-signed zone is loaded, the master file for its signed
version is loaded and then a rollforward of the journal for the signed
version of the zone is performed. If DNS_JOURNALOPT_RESIGN is not set
during the latter phase, signatures loaded from the journal for the
signed version of the zone will not be scheduled for refresh. Fix the
conditional expression determining which flags should be used for the
dns_journal_rollforward() call so that DNS_JOURNALOPT_RESIGN is set when
zone_postload() is called for the signed version of an inline-signed
zone.
Extend bin/tests/system/stop.pl so that it can use "rndc halt" instead
of "rndc stop" as the former allows master file flushing upon shutdown
to be suppressed.
- add CHANGES note
- update copyrights and license headers
- add -j to the make commands in .gitlab-ci.yml to take
advantage of parallelization in the gitlab CI process
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
