Comment 1 for bug 1555606

Thank you for the request!

However, the upstream changes (http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-pdns/pdns-recursor.git/commit/?h=upstream&id=8447e4990a72e278cf13522c570b27ad2a61eeae) seem substantial even besides the autotools related work. Therefore if it would be wanted to be included to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you would need to follow the freeze exception process to provide more information about the upgrade, as documented as https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess#FeatureFreeze_Exceptions

Alternatively it could be synced next month when the development for Ubuntu 16.10 opens.
