I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear. 9.1 is secure, that's why I put |
| 21 |
it in the tree. However, looking at net-misc/bind, all the insecure |
| 22 |
versions are still there. I would like to move them to the Attic on the |
| 23 |
CVS tree. |

Now, I know that some people still have a preference for bind8 which is |
| 26 |
why I was hoping that we could have a secure version of bind8 in the |
| 27 |
tree as well. |

Achim, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I just wanted a second |
| 30 |
opinion and to make sure that it wasn't just me having problems with |
| 31 |
bind8. |
