Jan Lentfer has accomplished something rather dramatic: the removal of BIND from the base system. It’s not actually out yet, but I daresay it will be after the 2.6 release, freeing people up to install any DNS server from pkgsrc – including BIND.

Justin, can you share the technical reasons for the removal ?
IIRC, this was the stuff that earned Lentferj his commit bits.
thanks
Saifi.
The reason is probably so that he won’t have to update it again.
More exactly, it’s already getting updated in pkgsrc, so we may as well take advantage of that labor. Plus, people can pick other packages.
