Marco had agreed to take my code during this summer, while I was still developing. Once I had finished, Marco then decided that he wanted to renew development of his Net::DNS project, but in a new, Ruby direction. Rather than throw away the finished perl port, it seemed better to release it, for those that want a perl port. > I also wonder if > creating yet another DNS library (dnsruby) is really a good idea (too > many choices). Would a dnsruby really any better *in practice*? Why > not just refactor pnet-dns to incorporate the best of dnsjava? pnet-dns is a direct port of a perl library. The "refactor" of which you speak is essentially a complete rewrite. I propose to make the rewrite a separate project, as it targeting separate needs (those who would like a port of a perl library, to aid in porting code which uses it, versus those who want a "real" Ruby DNS library). Thanks, Alex.
