That work is finished, and i am not aware of any other ‘outstanding feature requests.’ So I think the packages are pretty stable.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>We did recently start setting up another site, <a href="http://Cloudsmith.io" class="">Cloudsmith.io</a>, for some of our packages. We need a site we can control for non-public stuff, like the BIND subscription edition, and private patches, and Cloudsmith allows us to put packages for multiple different OSes in one repo. I need to find out whether we plan to continue updating the COPR site or not. I think we do,(because of course it is easier to ‘find’ than Cloudsmith) but we haven’t discussed it explicitly.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>I should have a more complete answer next week - the people working on this are already on their weekend. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>Vicky</div><div><br class=""></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class="">-- <br class=""> Do things because you should, not just because you can.<br class=""><br class="">John Thurston 907-465-8591<br class=""><a href="mailto:John.Thurston@alaska.gov" class="">John.Thurston@alaska.gov</a><br class="">Department of Administration<br class="">State of Alaska<br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list<br class=""><br class="">bind-users mailing list<br class="">bind-users@lists.isc.org<br class="">https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users<br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">
