Hi, can someone write me a short email howto test ddns? Checking out the ddns.git, and doing a ./make.sh build and extracting the build ddns package on my ipfire?

Hello Michael,
I've coded some lines to support the ddns provider "enom.com" which has been requested on our bugtracker (#10588, #10567).
Basic tests with some invalid data ( because I don't have an account there) have been performed and the errors have been triggered the correct exceptions.
Great, but you really need to test your code. If it is a free provider go and register an account. If not, search for someone who has already got an account and get them testing this for you.
- While implementing the new ddns provider, I've moved the "parse_xml"
function from the Namecheap provider to the DDNSProvider main class to allow reuse of the code and gain access to this function for additional providers which will be included in the future.
I really don't see why we would need that in the global class. You could probably move that to a third class you pull in which then provides only this function. A class can inherit from multiple classes at the same time.
- I also found some missing lines which accidently have been dropped
while fixing merge conflicts.
I would need an extra commit with only that.
You can find all changes here:

Please have a look on them and merge them to upstream.
Done that. See my remarks above.

A big thanks in advance,

Hello,
this is a post to update you all about the recent developments
regarding
the support for the various upcoming dynamic DNS providers.
Rationale
Some of the major dynamic DNS providers stopped their free services or made them unusable so that people started searching for alternatives.
In
IPFire 2, a script called setddns.pl [1] is responsible for updating
the
dynamic DNS records. This script has grown over the last couple of months and if you have looked into it you will have noticed that it has become from ugly to almost un-maintainable. The decision that we don't want to take this mess with us into the next generation of IPFire was already made many years ago.
DDNS
A project called ddns was started which is a pure Python client that is much more flexible, cleanly rewritten and easily extensible. It is cross-platform, cross-distribution and does not need any third-party python modules.
The basics already written years ago, Stefan Schantl and I worked on making this ready for IPFire 2 and added all the providers that are currently supported by setddns.pl and ez-ipupdate.
The source for the new DDNS tool can be found over here:
http://git.ipfire.org/?p=ddns.git;a=summary
or on GitHub
https://github.com/ipfire/ddns
were you can send us pull requests for supporting new providers and so on.
Bug reports go to the usual place:
https://bugzilla.ipfire.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=DDNS%20Updater
There is no fixed release schedule for this, but we are pretty sure
that
this won't take long until DDNS arrives in IPFire 2. That means that we won't take any patches for the setddns.pl script that add support for new providers any more.
We appreciate any contribution and as always hope to get some feedback back from the community!
Best, -Michael
