- Description:
- Knot Resolver is a caching DNS resolver scalable from huge resolver
farms down to home network routers.
Knot Resolver is a modern resolver implementation designed for
scalability, resiliency, and flexibility. Its design is
different from other resolvers: The core architecture is tiny and
efficient, and most of the rich features are implemented as
optional modules, which limits attack surface and improves
performance.

databases/lmdb0: Add port for LMDB 0.9.x legacy ABI
LMDB 1.0 introduced an incompatible on-disk format change and subtle
API breakage: applications that compiled cleanly against 1.0 headers
could fail silently at run time. Known affected ports include dns/knot3,
mail/bogofilter, and mail/postfix; the postfix issue has been confirmed
upstream. Linux distributions such as Arch Linux have observed the same
breakage. Samba can also be affected in certain configurations.
Because the regression is not detectable in an -exp build run -- the
postfix failure only manifests at run time, and bogofilter was caught
only because post-build self-tests happen to exercise this path -- we
cannot rely on package builds to validate the 1.0 upgrade.
This commit introduces databases/lmdb0 as a holding port for the 0.9.35 (Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above  ) |

*/*: Bump all devel/protobuf consumers
They must always be bumped after devel/protobuf because it include
following files whose filenames contain %%PORTVERSION%%. Consequently,
the shlib will always change when PORTVERSION is increased.
lib/libprotobuf-lite.so.%%PORTVERSION%%.0
lib/libprotobuf.so.%%PORTVERSION%%.0
lib/libprotoc.so.%%PORTVERSION%%.0
