FreeBSD Port: dnsmasq-2.57_3,1

[Pierre PEYRONNEL]

Hi Sahil and Matthias, 

thanks for you replies.
I did not know about the subtlety about RELEASE, STABLE, etc... with pkg_add as i'm fairly new to FreeNAS and FreeBSD.

So I installed a real FreeBSD 8.2-LATEST in a VM and dug more. It turns out that :

- the dnsmasq package is not broken, but i don't see why it needs the EXACT version libidn-1.16 to really work
(on a fresh system the exact libidn-1.16 gets installed)
- when installing on a system that has a higher libidn (like 1.19...) pkg_add issues a warning but dnsmasq actually does not work, as it looks for 1.16
- the libidn-1.19 package actually gives you libidn.so.17

So... I ended up using the oldest trick :
- ln -s libidn.so.16 libidn.so.17

And as hoped, it works.

thanks for your help,
