RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Petr Menšík 2021-05-04 11:57:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

Current RHEL9 bind version is few versions behind, current version is 9.16.15. There are pending two CVEs with fix and other coverity detected issue, which would be fixed by rebase to latest version.

There are few bug fixes and small feature changes [1] in following releases, none introducing any backward compatibility problem. Only change in versioning used libraries is significant, but it would have to be solved sooner or later. bind-dyndb-ldap component would have to be rebuilt together with bind.

Few notable feature changes:

- New option stale-answer-client-timeout, able to customize time when stale cache records can be served. Used only when stale-answer-enable is enabled. Disabled by default.
- primaries, notify primary-only can be used instead of masters and notify master-only; rndc zonestatus now prints primary and secondary instead of master and slave types.
- SONAME of libraries would change every new release, previous versioning numbers are not incremented like before, but would contain BIND version instead.
- AXFR response is used instead IXFR if relative difference would big bigger than whole zone transfer. Could be adjusted by max-ixfr-ratio option.
- purge-keys option added to dnssec-policy.

Comment 1 Petr Menšík 2021-05-04 13:17:25 UTC 
Prepared bind rebase.

The change would modify displayed version in named -V and dig commands, because version is used also in library names. It would be just %{version}-RH now to keep it more compact.

I have also merged bind-libs-lite into bind-libs, because bind-dyndb-ldap, single component depending on it needs both bind-libs and bind packages anyway. In no situation bind-libs-lite would be used without other dependencies, therefore it only fragments enough subpackages already.
Comment 6 Petr Menšík 2021-06-22 21:23:11 UTC 
Found DNSTAP feature is not properly enabled on RHEL9 builds. Because it is enabled on RHEL8.4, it needs to be enabled also for RHEL9. Current bind 9.16 does not depend on fstrm or protobuf-c.

Also, DLZ modules should be disabled on built, because they get blocked on gating. gethostbyname is used in those modules. PKCS11 builds are no longer used as well, can be disabled.
