Description David Woodhouse 2004-05-28 14:32:25 UTC

CVS fails to contact a server which has only AAAA and not A addresses,
because it uses gethostbyname() instead of getaddrinfo().

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cvs-1.11.15-2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs.org:/home/cvs co mtd

  
Actual results:
Unknown host cvs.infradead.org.


Expected results:
It should work. Well, no -- it should fail because xinetd is also
IPv6-challenged and isn't actually listening on cvs.infradead.org at
the moment -- but it should at least _try_ :)

I guess CVS 1.11.x hasn't andy IPv6 support and a IPv6 patch only will 
work if the (unneeded?) krb4 support is disabled.
