Fedora, RHEL and derivatives (AlmaLinux, Rocky, etc)

[ghost]

Hello,

I noticed that nsd for Fedora and EL8 is stuck at version 4.3, and for EL9 + derivatives (AlmaLinux, Rocky, etc) the nsd package has been removed or maybe never released for EL9 at all. Are there issues with package maintenance?

I don't know if you maintain the above rpm packages, maybe I'm in the wrong place.

Thank you.

Hi @LauraTaylorUK! I took a quick look at repositories. Seems you're right. We don't maintain the package ourselves. @paulwouters kindly takes care of that. Looking at the overview, nothing is packaged for EPEL9. Fedora 37 also lists 4.3. There does exist a bug report stating a new release is available. My guess is that the maintainer hasn't gotten around to package a newer version.

@paulwouters, hope you don't mind me tagging you, but maybe you have some comments on this?

@LauraTaylorUK, since this is EPEL/Fedora specific, it's probably best to react to the aforementioned bug report(?)

I'll leave this open for a bit should anyone want to comment though.

Thank you for the prompt response.

I see the report about failed builds, I'll monitor the situation from the bug report.

I will start requesting the epel9 branches for things. Note that unbound itself cannot go into epel9 because it is in rhel9. Please ping me if you see nothing at the end of next week Sent using a virtual keyboard on a phone

Sorry to be a bother but nsd still doesn't seem to exist in EPEL9

Edit: if you don't mind it's out of date compared to upstream, quick workaround for Rocky 9 is rebuild the Fedora package. The below URL will rot quickly but you can go look with a browser what the latest version is.

$ sudo dnf install systemd-devel gcc autoconf automake rpm-build wget
$ wget https://mirrors.xtom.de/fedora/releases/36/Everything/source/tree/Packages/n/nsd-4.3.9-2.fc36.src.rpm
$ rpmbuild --rebuild nsd-4.3.9-2.fc36.src.rpm
$ sudo dnf localinstall ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/nsd-4.3.9-2.el9.x86_64.rpm

I will check today and push to the branch Sent using a virtual keyboard on a phone

@paulwouters, a quick look at the versions shows NSD is still at version 4.3. No rush, but just curious if there's a specific/technical reason the package hasn't been updated yet and if there's something that needs to be done on our side. Thanks in advance.

Fedora rawhide and 38 now have nsd 4.6.1
Fedora 37 will have it in the updates-testing repositories in the next few hours
