Description Jacek Tomasiak 2023-06-29 06:38:36 UTC

Description of problem:
Support for "options attempts:X" was "lost" when upstream switched from liblwres to libirs (in version 9.12). It was re-added in upstream version 9.17 and downstream patch was added in Fedora in version 32:9.16.28-2 of the package in May 2022.

However the el9 version of bind packages (at version 32:9.16.23-11 currently) still didn't get the patch added.

Please re-add the patch to get back support for resolv.conf options in RHEL9.

I see that this is a duplicate of #1984876 which was closed as WONTFIX.
Is there a chance for re-opening that?

Comment 2 Petr Menšík 2023-08-09 09:29:45 UTC

Yes, while I would say this is not high priority work, I think it would be useful backporting this also to 9.16 bind. Upstream has not backported the change to that version, but there should not be anything important blocking this feature.

I would propose doing that with rebase bug #2187436, which I doubt would be sooner than release 9.4. Especially if we had that already on Fedora and no issues were reported related to that. It is self-contained change with very low chance of breaking something else.
