Reopening for Fedora

Comment 3 David Woodhouse 2006-07-11 11:05:52 UTC
For those who have just had bugs filed against their packages without much
explanation and who are now slightly confused -- we should be making sure that
all packages are properly protocol-agnostic, and work as well with IPv6 as they
do with IPv4.

For further information on how to achieve this, please see 
http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html and
http://www.ipv6style.jp/en/apps/20030829/index.shtml

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2006-07-12 05:47:41 UTC
Also, http://www.kame.net/newsletter/19980604/ and
http://gsyc.escet.urjc.es/~eva/IPv6-web/ipv6.html have nice code examples,
comparing the original IPv4-only, IPv6-only, and AF-independent approaches.

Adding Tracking keyword

Comment 8 Tore Anderson 2009-11-04 14:51:44 UTC
Bug #532972 should be added as a dependency, not sure how to do that myself.

Comment 9 Tore Anderson 2009-11-20 17:42:27 UTC
Another string of bugs and reports of missing IPv6 support in applications that keeps me from running a IPv6-only network, should probably be added as dependencies as well:

#539611
#538499
#530670
#530669
#523288

Tore, who's hoping that F13 will be the first truly IPv6-ready Linux distro...

Comment 10 Charles R. Anderson 2009-11-20 20:46:10 UTC
Tore, have you tried putting this bug number into the bugs you opened under "Blocks: "?

Blocks: 195271

Comment 11 Tore Anderson 2009-11-21 10:09:29 UTC
Charles, no - didn't try that.  My Bugzilla-fu is quite limited...  :-)  But it certainly does the trick just fine, thanks for the tip!

Tore

Comment 12 Tore Anderson 2009-11-21 10:14:34 UTC
I wasn't able to do it for bug #523288 (probably because I didn't submit it), but the four others should be fine now.

Hi, I didn't know about this tracker and started a new one:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883152

My tracker bug is about both IPv4 and IPv6, not focused only on IPv6, as IPv4 or even node-local networking problems were created during the quest for IPv6 support.

The starting point was a bunch of bug reports (not only in this bugzilla and not only on Fedora) that was related to the usage of getaddrinfo() which is used improperly in a lot of software, and a problem with AI_ADDRCONFIG in getaddrinfo() whose implementation is broken in glibc.

For more information, follow the links from a feature page I started:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DualstackNetworking

Please propose a solution to having two tracker bugs for very similar things. I think that the new one is much more readable and current and is related to the Fedora Feature. Therefore I ask if making the older bug duplicate of the newer bug would be good enough. It is also possible to just block the newer bug by the older one.
