Hello, Looks like the bind-sdb package is not available on Rocky Linux 9.x. Will it be integrated with the next versions?

bind-sdb was a subpackage provided in bind 9.11. This is [no longer the case](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/BIND9.16). DLZ, which replaces a lot of that functionality and more, is also [disabled](https://git.rockylinux.org/staging/rpms/bind/-/blob/r9/SPECS/bind.spec#L1244). You would need to use DLZ to get what you’re after. Since it’s disabled, the packages aren’t available. You can however try to enable that support. It requires a patch for it to build properly. Below is what I roughly did to make it build with the following caveats: - It’s not clear if it it will actually work - You will have to maintain the bind package yourself (e.g. if we release any updates, you’re on the hook for keeping your packages up to date) ```auto % cd /tmp/ % wget http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/devel/source/tree/Packages/b/bind-9.16.23-11.el9_2.1.src.rpm % dnf install epel-release rpm-build -y % crb enable % dnf install mock -y % usermod -aG mock user % su - user % rpm -i /tmp/bind-9.16.23-11.el9_2.1.src.rpm # download the patches % cd rpmbuild/SOURCES % wget https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bind/raw/ec7f7e4c125f8d3ac99dd1bba0fba0d4f7639a5d/f/bind-9.16-openldap-2.6.patch # modify the spec file (below is a diff) 54c54 < Release: 11%{?dist}.1 --- > Release: 11%{?dist}.1.1 128a129 > Patch9998: bind-9.16-openldap-2.6.patch 443a446 > %patch9998 -p1 1166a1171,1173 > * Wed Jul 26 2023 Louis Abel - 32:9.16.23-11.1.1 > - Add patches for DLZ support > % rpmbuild -bs ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bind.spec Wrote: /home/user/rpmbuild/SRPMS/bind-9.16.23-11.el9.1.1.src.rpm % mock -r rocky-9-x86_64 \ /home/user/rpmbuild/SRPMS/bind-9.16.23-11.el9.1.1.src.rpm \ --enablerepo=devel --with=DLZ --define 'dist .el9_2.dlz' # this produces the following packages Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-libs-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-doc-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.noarch.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-devel-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-utils-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dnssec-utils-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dnssec-utils-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-utils-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/python3-bind-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.noarch.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-mysql-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-mysql-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-ldap-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-sqlite3-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-ldap-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-sqlite3-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-filesystem-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dlz-filesystem-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-dnssec-doc-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.noarch.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-libs-debuginfo-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-chroot-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-license-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.noarch.rpm Wrote: /builddir/build/RPMS/bind-debugsource-9.16.23-11.el9_2.dlz.1.1.x86_64.rpm ``` With that being said, there have been some talks about starting a “fast track” like SIG to have modified packages like this or even upgraded packages. This might be one (of many) candidates that could make it, but no guarantees. ---

I’m not sure what the issue could be here. As I said, I cannot guarantee what I did to make it build to allow it to work. There’s [another patch](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bind/raw/a8e525a2104a9548510538f0910c920bf5ecd9bb/f/bind-9.16-openldap-2.6-all.patch) you can add to see if that helps, but there’s no guarantees. As an aside, if you are just looking to use bind with ldap, I would use the regular bind packages from our repositories and install `bind-dyndb-ldap`. ---
