[request] getdns/1.6.0 #2891

Package Details

Description Of The Library / Tool

getdns is an implementation of a modern asynchronous DNS API. It is intended to make all types of DNS information easily available to application developers and non-DNS experts.

I note that getdns switched to cmake in v1.6.0; might be easier to package now than previously.

Mayor change from previous release is that the autotools based build system has been replaced with a CMake build system.

The motivation for this change is to have Windows be a first class build platform for getdns thereby increasing the ease of use of the getdns library in Windows applications. getdns and stubby can now be built using a native Windows build toolchain, ideally via the Visual Studio project.

@madebr: wonderful, great work! Thank you for implementing this, for fixing related recipes, and even submitting upstream fixes to getdns! (Let's hope they get merged soon 😉)
