Description Rob LA LAU 2021-02-23 16:05:12 UTC 
Bind has switched terminology from master/slave to primary/secondary.
https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9_16_12/introduction.html?highlight=primary#the-primary-server

When using this more modern terminology it makes sense to also change the names of the directories 'master' and 'slave' to 'primary' and 'secondary', which I did.
I would appreciate it if the make options for the port could include options like

(*) Use primary/secondary terminology
( ) User master/slave terminology

This would avoid the creation of new directories named 'master' and 'slave' when updating, as well as the installation of new 'empty.db' and 'localhost-*.db' files in unused directories. On the other hand, it would still allow existing installations to continue using the old terminology, if desired.

Since Bind now prefers the use of primary/secondary, it would probably also make sense to use these terms as the default for new installs.

Thanks,
  Rob

BIND9 already has way too many options, adding a new option for this seems like a bad idea.

I am going to have a look on how to make the change transparent for the users, it will probably only happen in bind9-devel for now, and it will probably only happen in the new versions of BIND9 ports, starting with the next 9.18 version.

Migrated to primary/secondary in the latest bind9-devel port.
