Description of problem: perl-Net-DNS 0.48 doesn't support SPF, it's too old Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to use Mail::SPF on RHEL4 system Actual results: # spfquery --id account --ip 192.0.2.1 Net::DNS::typesbyname() argument (SPF) is not TYPE### at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/DNS.pm line 144. Expected results: Support of SPF DNS type Additional info: SPF is supported since 0.56: *** 0.56 February 20, 2006 Fix rt.cpan.org 17694 Net::DNS::typesbyval() now confesses on undefined args. Acknowledgements to Dean Serenevy. Feature Implemented SPF (typecode 99). The class completely inherits from Net::DNS::RR::TXT (the easiest RR to implement ever). Please provide an update.
I'd rather not update to 0.58. There was a lot of changes, features, etc. I'm not sure if this package won't break ABI with other modules.
The last planned update of RHEL-4 will be focused on performance and security bugs only. The next release should solve this issue.
