BIND 10 Development Now Fully Underway

Posted by timothy on from the ten-is-such-a-nice-round-number dept.

darthcamaro writes "A decade after work first began on version 9 of BIND, the widely deployed open source DNS server, work is now fully underway on its successor, BIND 10. '"One of the goals for BIND 10 is to allow people to customize and extend without too much trouble," Shane Kerr, BIND 10's program manager at the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC), told InternetNews.com.' Sounds good right? Only problem is that it's going to take a bit of time until BIND 10 is actually ready for production — potentially as long as five years!"

    potentially as long as five years!

    Why the emphasis on how long it will take? I've had pieces of shit that took longer than that to get ready for "production".

    If you hate it so much, why do you use it. Pay out your ass for some Microsucks shitware knockoff instead.

    Rather others couldn't play well with DJB. He understood DNS and SMTP, many others didn't. Hence Sendmail and BIND are such pieces of shit. What disdain for comments? Many of those comments are simply attacks because some people can't take original style (and new, better APIs) and good design. The 'products' are rather complete - they cover the needs of many people. Many people use them and are very happy.
