Description

Even though IPv6 is slowly advancing, changing the default will surely break quite a few scripts where machines have an IPv6 address but the services on that server haven't been configured for IPv6. I'm preferring to go the route of least surprises here and keep the upstream default. Reopening, changing title. There's a related upstream bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=22755 I agree with the original poster of that bug that "prefer-family = none" should be the default. According to RFC3484: "Well-behaved applications SHOULD iterate through the list of addresses returned from getaddrinfo() until they find a working address." The comment in that bug seems to indicate that "prefer-family=none" would use the results in the (random) order they're returned by the DNS server. That also violates RFC3484. Oh, I think I misread it. It does look like it might be the correct thing to do, since glibc will sort the results for us. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
