I'm guessing you want to update its version. The first step as a user would be 
from the cli, issue ;

lunar set ZLOCAL_OVERRIDES on

You'll want that because any modules you have 
in /var/lib/lunar/moonbase/zlocal are retained when you do a lunar update or 
lin moonbase.

Now the easy way to get maradns in zlocal is to issue;

lvu edit maradns

At this point hack away. When you have made the changes and *thoroughly* 
tested them and confident they are ready you can just email the patch to this 
mail list.

If you have exim or some other mailer on the box, simply issue;

lvu submit maradns

At that point one of the devs will review/test your patch and update moonbase.
