How to increment serial ? about powerdns-php

[trizz]

Hi @mickaelmonsieur,

Currently it is not possible to update the SOA serial yourself.

However, it seems that you want to increase it, which will happen automatically when the zone has INCEPTION-INCREMENT configured as a value for SOA-EDIT. At this moment it is not possible to manage this with this package. You can use pdnsutil to check/update the meta of the zone.

Hi @trizz ,
I don't think letting powerdns increase the serial itself makes any sense.
I explain why:
If I add 250 entries in my zone, the server increases 250x the serial? It makes no sense.
I just have to update the serial at the end of all my modifications, don't you think?

Hi @mickaelmonsieur, thanks for your issue!

I think it is pdns own advice to update the serial after each change, so therefor we sticked with the default. I like it cause I don't want to worry about the serial update :-)

I'm afraid I don't see us implementing this any time soon, but we're absolutely open for a pull request!

To achieve this a save() method must be created in the Zone class. It should implement the put API call.

Let us know if we can be of any more help.
