This version has a first support of the new spec (old spec is still supported for a while) :
- https://dot-bit.org/Domain_names


Dependencies :
-------------

- idn	(php5-idn crash with some domain names, so the idn binary is used)
- php5-cli
- a running namecoin


Install :
---------

apt-get install idn php5-cli

* Bind configuration :
Copy the file etc/bind/named.conf.bit to /etc/bind/ 
Edit the file /etc/bind/named.conf.options and add :
- at the bottom of the file :
  // .bit zone
  include "/etc/bind/named.conf.bit";

* Create the following folder :
- /etc/bind/dotbit/
chown www-data -R /etc/bind/dotbit/

Add it at startup (in /etc/rc.local before line 'exit 0' on debian) :

TODO :
------

* Support the following records :
- loc
