Another DNS-zone serial number updater.


Why?
----

I know this not the first vim plugin available to update a DNS-zone serial number. Here is a few reasons why I chose not to use the canonical one:

* there is no license and therefore it is not free;
* it is unmaintained;
* it is bugged;
* it lacks functionalities.

It chose not to fork the original plugin but to write a new one from scratch mainly for legal purposes, but also because I did not found the code as simple as I expected.


Configuration
-------------

You can turn off the automatic serial update by setting `let g:dnsserial_auto_update = 0` in your vimrc.

Add the possibility to turn off the automatic serial update. Some users may want to explicitly update the DNS serial number. Instead of forcing them to update on each write, a new configuration option is used so they can chose turn it off. 2015-11-14 19:05:12 +01:00
