BIND-IRIX-PORT home page

As the maintainer of the SGI IRIX port of ISC BIND, I figure it's my duty to put out some information about current issues, so that you can get patches and help without having to wait for the next version of BIND to be released.

Please note that I am only the maintainer for the IRIX port of versions 8.1 and later of BIND. I did not write, nor do I consider myself to be commited to help support, earlier versions of BIND, or BIND on other operating systems. I may be able and/or willing to help with such, but I make no promises here. :-)

Folowing is a list of issues that I know of that exist with the current (8.1.1 as of last writing) version of the IRIX port of BIND. If I have a patch for that particular issue, you can follow the link for that specific issue, or check the patches directory, which contains all the patches that I currently have available.

• make doesn't work, bailing out quickly. This can be one of at least two things, see this page for more details.
• make install doesn't work (patch available)
• make depend doesn't work (patch available)
• ndc should accept /etc/config/named.options file (patch pending)
• port/irix/probe doesn't recognize IRIX64 machines (patch available)
• BIND does not correctly detect IP aliasing (so the listen-on configuration directive doesn't work with such aliases, and it doesn't pick up those addresses with the default listening, either.) A fix for this is in the works, but it's slow going. If you'd like to help with this, let me know, and I can give you a little something to get it started.
