Description of problem: 1. mtr-0.52-3 is old - mtr-0.54 was released months ago - with a lot of fixes etc. 2. mtr has no IPv6 support - so I searched for patches (KAME and so on) and I found good working patches which should be really included. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mtr-0.52-3 Expected results: Updated mtr and IPv6 support at mtr. Additional info: I attached a actual new mtr src.rpm with working IPv6 support including the patches and a changed spec file. Please have a look to it. I would be happy, if I can find that one in Rawhide/Fedora Core.
Created attachment 95554 [details] Updated mtr-0.54 with well-working IPv6 support src.rpm Here is the updated mtr-0.54 with well-working IPv6 support source rpm for Rawhide/Fedora Core
I had occasions where xmtr would hang. I rebuilt the package using the new .054 src from the authors site. I have not had any hangs since. Byte
Did you try it with the version 0.54 from Rawhide/Development, too? So when does it hang exactly? Maybe there are problems caused by my patches...
Add me to the (long) list of networking people who'd really like to see IPv6 support in mtr...
Well, the package above provides IPv6 support in mtr, if you rebuild it. But nobody of the Red Hat maintainers still wants to add it to Rawhide/Development :'-( May you test it - as I do it since September 2003 - and report found bugs here, no one did it yet, but I don't know how many users tested that patched mtr... I still think, it's important to provide IPv6 support at mtr. So there is IPv6 support at 'ping' and 'traceroute' already!
Phil, will we get any comment or are we just wasting our time?
I've looked at the patches today and they seem to look good to me, too. Included them in the latest mtr-0.54-4 package which should hit rawhide real soon. Read ya, Phil
Thank you Phil! Appreciated!
Hm, did you push the update yet to rawhide? it didn't surface yet: Logged in to download.fedora.redhat.com. ncftp / > cd pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/ Directory successfully changed. ncftp ...core/development/SRPMS > ls -l mtr* -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 99450 Feb 8 20:47 mtr-0.54-2.src.rpm Would like to start testing asap...
I'm sorry to say that, but I can't find the package in the lastest development push (23-Feb-2004 06:31): mtr-0.54-3.src.rpm 17-Feb-2004 00:27 97k "-3" was a simple rebuild, no new included patches. Could you please push the update to development? Thank you :)
As i've already posted to f-c-d, it must have slipped through one of my 1001 other prio 1 things as the whole stuff has been in CVS for quite some time. It's in the buildsystem atm, so should really hit rawhide now today or tomorrow. Sorry again for the delay, Read ya, Phil (Just too many releases right now at the same time *sigh*).
