This package has increased the number of MaraDNS users, and the Debian developers have given me feedback that has improved MaraDNS.<p> However, because of Debian's policies, their "Stable" version of MaraDNS is usually an outdated version of MaraDNS that contains bugs that I have since fixed. I do not support these outdated versions of MaraDNS, and request that Debian users upgrade to the current stable version of MaraDNS before sending the mailing list bug reports or asking for technical support. Here is my guide for Debian users, telling them how to upgrade the outdated version of MaraDNS Debian comes with:<ul> <li> MaraDNS 1.4 is a "bugfix only" branch, and no new features have been added to this version of MaraDNS. <li> Updating from previous versions of MaraDNS to MaraDNS 1.4 is trivial and <A href=http://maradns.org/tutorial/update.html>fully documented</A> <li> It is very easy to update the buggy version of MaraDNS that the Debian package comes with an updated MaraDNS. <li> First, download the most recent stable version of MaraDNS from the <A href="download.html">MaraDNS download page</A> or from the <A href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/maradns">Sourceforge page</A>. <li> Next, unpack the MaraDNS tarball. For example, if you downloaded the file "maradns-1.4.01.tar.bz2" (please only download MaraDNS-1.4.01 if it is the current stable version, which it is at time of writing this document), type in this command: <blockquote><tt> tar xvjf maradns-1.4.01.tar.bz2 </tt></blockquote> <li> Enter the maradns-1.4.<i>version</i> directory, where <i>version</i> is the bugfix revision number of the most current 1.4 release of MaraDNS. <li> Compile MaraDNS 1.4.<i>version</i> with the following commands: <blockquote><tt> ./configure; make </tt></blockquote> <li> If the above fails, you may need to install the "gcc" and "libc6-dev" packages before being able to compile programs: <blockquote><tt> sudo apt-get install gcc<br> sudo apt-get install libc6-dev </tt></blockquote> <li> Once MaraDNS is compiled, make sure to stop the MaraDNS daemon: <blockquote><tt> /etc/init.d/maradns stop </tt></blockquote> <li> Now, replace the outdated MaraDNS program that comes with Debian. From the maradns-1.2.12.<i>version</i> directory, type in the following command: <blockquote><tt> sudo cp server/maradns /usr/sbin/ </tt></blockquote> <li> Restart the MaraDNS daemon: <blockquote><tt> /etc/init.d/maradns start </tt></blockquote> </ul> At this point, your MaraDNS daemon is now the fully supported version of MaraDNS. If you continue to have the bug or concern after upgrading to the latest 1.4 release, please let us know on the mailing list so we can begin to resolve the issue. </div> </td></table> </div> </td></table> </div> </body> </html>
