- First of all, I would like to point out that I really appreciate Debian
5
- making a MaraDNS package available. This package has increased the number
6
- of MaraDNS users, and the Debian developers have given me feedback that
7
- has improved MaraDNS.
9
- However, because of Debian's policies, their "Stable" version of MaraDNS is
10
- usually an outdated version of MaraDNS containing bugs that I have
11
- since fixed. I do not support these outdated versions of MaraDNS, and
12
- request that Debian users upgrade to the current stable version of MaraDNS
13
- before sending me bug reports or asking for technical support. Here is my
14
- guide for Debian users, telling them how to upgrade the outdated version
15
- of MaraDNS Debian comes with:
17
- * MaraDNS 1.2 has been, since 1.2.12.04, a "bugfix only" branch, and no
18
- new features have been added to this version of MaraDNS.
20
- * It is very easy to update the buggy version of MaraDNS that the
21
- Debian package comes with an updated MaraDNS.
23
- * First, download the most recent stable version of MaraDNS from the
24
- MaraDNS download page (http://www.maradns.org/download.html) or from
25
- the Sourceforge page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/maradns).
27
- * Next, unpack the MaraDNS tarball. For example, if you downloaded the
28
- file "maradns-1.2.12.08.tar.bz2" (please only download
29
- MaraDNS-1.2.12.08 if it is the current stable version, which it is at
