Hello,
Thank you for your time and attention.
I did read the INSTALL notes and some README files come with the tar file.
However, I am still confused about something. I am trying to upgrade our
BIND, we have our bind configuration files (like named.boot, named.cache,
named.conf, etc) in /usr/private/etc. I need to have the new binary will
work with my old configuation files.
Before I run "make install", I need to modify the Makefile.set in
src/port/solaris,
the next is part of my Makefile.set,
'DESTDIR=/dns/dns'
'DESTMAN=/usr/local/share/man'
'DESTETC=/usr/local/etc'
after I run "make install", I should have
/dns/dns/usr/local/share/man, but I do not have that.
What is the meaning of 'DESTETC=/usr/local/etc' ? Does this tell bind to
look for /usr/local/etc for configuration files when it runs? In my case I
should have
"/usr/private/etc" there? Will it overwrite any files in that dirctory?
What is the best way to upgrade the new bind without damage anyting which
is running now?
Thanks a lot!
