[bind10-dev] Proposed zone management and loadzone changes

[Michal 'vorner' Vaner]

Hello

It turned out i #2964 it is no longer reasonably possible to new zones from
XfrIn (since it wouldn't know which data source to pick).

The ticket implemented extension to loadzone to be able to create empty zones as
well as load them from file. I think that makes sense, at least in the middle
term. But I wanted to propose these:

• Rename b10-loadzone to something like b10-zoneutil, since it doesn't do
  loading only already.
• Teach it to delete zones as well. We currently have no way to remove zones by
  the admin.

I believe we'll need to be able to add or remove zones with configuration from
single place ‒ now we need to define the configuration in bindctl, use loadzone
to load the zone (or create an empty one) and then ask bind10 to download the
zone using XfrIn. This is uncomfortable. But I think this has to wait.

So, is anybody against creating ticket for the above two points?

With regards

Something is obviously wrong. The thing works.
