Description Bart Smit 2015-01-19 12:19:35 UTC

The system startup scripts require that anything they start will run as a daemon, but the default for pdns_flags (empty) is not forcing this. In a default config your system won't boot past pdnsd...

Compare this to the default for sendmail_flags which explicitly sets -bd to force daemon mode.

The proper default for pdns_flags is "--daemon --guardian". This will also make good on the promise that the docs make about running in guardian mode automatically when starting from system startup scripts.

PowerDNS Auth 3.4.2 is around the corner, so I will fix this issue together with the port update to 3.4.2.

Fix rc.d script (which hangs at boot) and add lua 5.2 support

Added a new patch, which really fixes the lua 5.2 support. It broke with the previous patch now that lua 5.3 exists in the ports

Comment 8 Ralf van der Enden 2015-02-11 23:39:25 UTC

PowerDNS 3.4.2 was released, so I've updated the buildlog and patch.

Port changes:
- Lua 5.2 and 5.3 support,
- Added the ZeroMQ connector option to the remote backend,
- Changed the rc.d script so it will launch powerdns with --guardian=yes and --daemon=yes (fixing hang at boot),
- Move GeoIP and LMDB backends out of the experimental group (no longer experimental according to http://doc.powerdns.com)
