Re: named and DNSSEC

Robert,

I'm one of the maintainers for the logwatch package for Fedora, and the
person who did a lot to add the DNSSEC messages into the current named
report for logwatch.

I can say that we do want to push those or similar patches upstream (it
is our normal policy) and I'd be interested in the patches you are
currently planning, as we can work together for it.  Fairly obviously,
we would probably target it for the Fedora 16 release, which is based on
a recent CVS version, unless there was something dramatic need in the
earlier releases.

Feel free to drop some more info to the list, or contact me separately
to sort out the details.

Regards
Frank
