Rodolphe Breard 2f1756485c Add a Usage section in the README.
Users shouldn't have to guess neither that the plugin auto-updates the
DNS serial number nor the name of the function to call to manually
update it.

vim-dnsserial

Apache License 2.0

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.

Usage

By default, each time you save a bindzone file, the script will look for the DNS serial number and update it. You can also update it without saving the file by invoking the :DNSSerialUpdate function.

Configuration

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