Description of problem: Comparing with bind-utils-9.9.4-51.el7_4.2.x86_64: $ host ümläutö.example.net ümläutö.example.net has address [...] ümläutö.example.net has IPv6 address [...] $ and: $ host 2001:[...] [...].1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer ümläutö.example.net. $ it looks like this at bind-utils-9.11.3-7.fc29.x86_64: $ host ümläutö.example.net xn--mlut-moa4iob.example.net has address [...] xn--mlut-moa4iob.example.net has IPv6 address [...] $ and: $ host 2001:[...] [...].1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa domain name pointer xn--mlut-moa4iob.example.net. $ While it indeed could be discussed whether the technical form being shown is great at forward DNS or not, the reverse DNS is not handled anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-9.11.3-7.fc29 How reproducible: Always, see above. Actual results: Missing IDNA handling in host(1) for reverse DNS (and different output at forward DNS). Expected results: At least IDNA handling in host(1) for reverse DNS. Additional info: Ideally also umlauts in forward DNS rather the technical form (same like in RHEL/CentOS). Oh, dig(1) shares the same issue with host(1) for reverse DNS, however there adding +idnout shows the desired result. But for host(1) only the IDN_DISABLE is documented, no IDN_ENABLE.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
I did turn off IDN output by default in custom patch. I did that to keep backward compatibility with previous versions (of libidn2). It was turned on by default in libidn(1) implementation however. Yes, it should be turned on by default again. When playing with it however, I found out IDN_DISABLE documented in manual page does not work at all. Reported it to upstream [1]. It was internal environment variable used by idnkit. Downstream patch added disable by environment CHARSET=ASCII instead long time ago. That was lost also on refactoring from libidn. I will make both variables working, but documented in manual page will be only upstream supported IDN_DISABLE. 1. https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/issues/555
