- Description:
- Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It
is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can
serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP
server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated
addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in
a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases
and BOOTP/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless machines.
Dnsmasq is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to the internet
via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a good choice for any
smallish network (up to 1000 clients is known to work) where low resource use
and ease of configuration are important. -- Simon Kelley

Update dnsmasq rc.d script again (sorry for the churn with portrev. 1)
- Start before named, to unbreak named_wait if /etc/resolv.conf points
to dnsmasq (when named is the resolver that dnsmasq forwards to).
Is also more robust/maintenance friendly if other scripts depend on "named".
- Track if the configuration has changed since start, and upgrade reload
to restart by default in that case (can be disabled with
dnsmasq_restart="NO" in /etc/rc.conf[.local]), to work around dnsmasq
shortcoming
- Add a "logstats" action to the rcscript, and document it.
- Document the "reload" action and the new dnsmasq_restart variable.
- Properly quote variable expansions.
- Enhance pkg-message to point to the rcfile for feature documentation.
- Bump PORTREVISION to 2. |

Change rc.d file to ensure proper startup order:
- depend on named, in case dnsmasq uses named as resolver
- start before ntpdate and rpcbase (which require named).

Upgrade to new upstream release 2.57.
Remove support for FreeBSD releases 6.X.
Allow build with IDN but without NLS (this requires that dns/libidn
is also built WITHOUT_NLS) to expose an upstream change. Useful for embedded
devices.
Warn user if this is requested but libidn needs NLS libraries
because in that case dnsmasq inherits the NLS dependencies from libidn.
Remove files/patch-aa, it was a preview patch from a 2.57 test release,
fixing a regression in 2.56 that caused hex constants to be rejected in
the configuratino if they contained the '*' wildcard.
Further upstream changes:
- use own header for DNS protocol, rather than using arpa/nameser.h
- correct ctype.h function argument casts (isdigit(), isxdigit(), etc.)
- Accept extra empty arguments on command line to avoid libvirt breakage. |

Upgrade to new upstream release dnsmasq 2.53/2.54.
This release was inadvertently dubbed 2.54 in its logging by Simon Kelley,
so adjust our PORTVERSION to match that, but still build the 2.53 tarball.
Simon will treat 2.53 and 2.54 the same and release 2.55 next time.

Change MAINTAINER to my FreeBSD address.
Update to new upstream release 2.52. Changelog excerpt below the approval.
Approved by: miwi (mentor)
Upstream changelog excerpt (omitting Linux, Solaris and MacOS X specifics):
[...] Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading /etc/resolv.conf
if --bind-interfaces is not set. This handles the case that loopback
interfaces do not exist when dnsmasq is first started.
Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should reduce broadcasts and
make things more reliable when other servers are around. It also improves
inter-operability with certain clients.
Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot service type legal: (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above  ) |

* Fix rcfile bugs (and bump PORTREVISION):
- load configuration earlier so that we don't run without config file,
analyzed, reported and patch suggested by Fumiyuki Shimizu
- mention /etc/rc.conf.local (as suggested in the Porter's handbook)
- mention dnsmasq_flags for additional command line arguments
- pass pidfile and dnsmasq_conf as arguments to dnsmasq (previously,
overriding dnsmasq_conf had no effect).
* Fix COMMENT to mention TFTP server; shorten it so it fully fits on the
pkg_info list.

Unfortunately I no longer use dnsmasq, so I don't have a way to reliabily test
