Description Peter Vrabec 2006-07-11 12:34:12 UTC
This bug was reported automaticaly in connection with IPv6 project.
Our aim is to support IPv6 in all Fedora Core packages so FC6 and RHEL5 will be ready for IPv6.
		
This package seems to lack IPv6 support.

You would like me to write an IPv6 protocol stack in elisp, perhaps?

Comment 2 Peter Vrabec 2006-09-01 13:32:26 UTC
It seems emacs at less partially support IPv6 in emacs-21.4/src/process.c

#ifdef HAVE_GETADDRINFO
 ipv6 compliant code
#else
 old code
#endif

but I didn't find anythink similar in:
emacs-21.4/lib-src/pop.c
emacs-21.4/lib-src/tcp.c
