Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 353741
Rebase to latest 9.3 maintenance release
Last modified: 2013-04-30 19:37:13 EDT
Description of problem: BIND maintenance releases contains only bugfixes, no new features so generally it would be great to update RHEL5 bind to latest 9.3 maintenance release. Also ISC (bind upstream) strongly recommends this policy because some patches aren't security but also are critical for correct functionality. ISC is very good in patching and their patches doesn't contain regressions. Main RHEL5 branch should contain latest maintenance release and z-streams will have only critical patches. Of course it is not possible test ISC patches but regressions will be find through RH test suite. Test scripts in BIND package (RHTS use them) test nearly all avaliable functionality of BIND so regression is nearly impossible.
