|
|
### 1. [Add Support status command to RNDC](https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/issues/421)
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Requirement**:
|
|
|
BIND is under active development, with new releases issued frequently. It is not uncommon for organizations to maintain dozens of BIND servers and for some of them to be very infrequently updated. This would provide a new service for the BIND administrator, to query their BIND 9 server, which would then check (some undefined service) at ISC or the packager, and reply back whether the BIND 9 version is current and up-to-date or needs an upgrade.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Deliverable**:
|
|
|
The entire feature would require code committed to BIND to add the command grammar, and to implement the lookup, a design for the backend service which will reply back to the server, documentation for the feature, and outreach to the BIND User community.
|
|
|
Any feature that 'phones home' to get information will automatically be somewhat suspect and so development of this feature would need to be particularly transparent, and carried out with user input.
