From f1ed123caddd7525a0081c4a9de931cabdfda43f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Kosek Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 14:38:09 +0200 Subject: Replace DNS client based on acutil with python-dns IPA client and server tool set used authconfig acutil module to for client DNS operations. This is not optimal DNS interface for several reasons: - does not provide native Python object oriented interface but but rather C-like interface based on functions and structures which is not easy to use and extend - acutil is not meant to be used by third parties besides authconfig and thus can break without notice Replace the acutil with python-dns package which has a feature rich interface for dealing with all different aspects of DNS including DNSSEC. The main target of this patch is to replace all uses of acutil DNS library with a use python-dns. In most cases, even though the larger parts of the code are changed, the actual functionality is changed only in the following cases: - redundant DNS checks were removed from verify_fqdn function in installutils to make the whole DNS check simpler and less error-prone. Logging was improves for the remaining checks - improved logging for ipa-client-install DNS discovery https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2730 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1837 --- install/tools/ipa-dns-install | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'install/tools') diff --git a/install/tools/ipa-dns-install b/install/tools/ipa-dns-install index b540630f..10547c34 100755 --- a/install/tools/ipa-dns-install +++ b/install/tools/ipa-dns-install @@ -223,7 +223,7 @@ def main(): zone_notif=options.zone_notif) bind.create_instance() - # Restart http instance to make sure acutil has the right resolver + # Restart http instance to make sure that python-dns has the right resolver # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800368 http = httpinstance.HTTPInstance(fstore) service.print_msg("Restarting the web server") -- cgit
