Subject: O: zonecheck -- A DNS configuration checker

Date: Mon, 06 Sep 2004 13:20:44 +0200

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the zonecheck package.

The package description is:
 The DNS is a critical resource for every network application, so it
 is quite important to ensure that a zone or domain name is correctly
 configured in the DNS.
 ZoneCheck is intended to help solving misconfigurations or
 inconsistencies usually revealed by an increase in the latency of the
 application, up to the output of unexpected/inconsistant results.
 This package is the command-line version.

Zonecheck upstream seems no longer maintained. It's future is unclear
at this time.

A fork has been done, DNSdoctor (see #270213 for the ITP) and I plan,
if DNSDoctor works well, to drop Zonecheck.

Subject: Zonecheck still maintained

Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 11:21:24 +0200

Hi,

I think Zonecheck is still and will still be maintained by upstreams.
Zonecheck is used (and developped) by AFNIC, the French NIC.
It is used for all .fr and .re domains before being registered or 
before any changes of dns server / registrar ...
They may not be very active for some time (Thu Mar 11 -> v2.0.3) 
because of the time they had to spend on the recent "liberalization of 
.fr domain name registration".
