Greetings. I want to build Knot 2.1 on a Ubuntu
16.04.4 LTS. However, the
libknot from the packages is too old:
Makefile:87: *** libknot >= 2.6.4 required. Stop.
As compared to:
libknot-dev/xenial,now 2.1.1-1build1 amd64 [installed]
Is it possible to get the libknot package on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS updated
soon? If not, how do I install the latest libknot by hand?
I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but for debian, i'll
be putting both knot 2.6.5 and knot-resolver 2.1.1 into
stretch-backports sometime over the next week, barring the discovery of
any dealbreaker bugs.
So for people running debian 9 ("stretch", which is the current stable
release of debian), they'll just need to add a single line to their
sources.list:
deb
http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main
and then they'll be able to install knot-resolver 2.1.1 with:
apt install knot-resolver=stretch-backports
given that the packages will need to migrate into testing before i can
upload them to stretch-backports, this isn't going to happen before the
weekend, but for folks who want a package that other people have burned
in, you might want to just sit tight for a week.
