Description Pekka Savola 2001-07-29 05:45:51 EDT

I don't see this as critical as there are other tools (e.g. lynx/ncftp) to accomplish the same, but
in any case...

wget-1.7 has been patched (based on ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/wget-17*) to enable
ipv6.

The updated package is at http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/linux/ipv6/ 

Basically:
 - KAME patch
 - additional patch to configure.in, config.h.in to make the autoconf work
 - add autoconf, %configure --enable-ipv6 (else it will go on only if ipv6 is enabled on _building_ host)

IPv6-binary tested to work on IPv4-only systems, connecting to both EPRT/PORT ftp sites with ipv4, etc.

Comment 2 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-07-29 23:31:25 EDT

Requiring IPv6 on the build machine is not acceptable.

Comment 3 Pekka Savola 2001-07-30 02:10:29 EDT

Let me clarify.

With the patch if you do: 

%configure, IPv6 will get enabled only if the building host has ipv6 enabled

%configure --enable-ipv6 (as suggested), IPv6 will always get enabled, and the
building host doesn't have to be IPv6-enabled.

Sorry for too few words :-)

Comment 4 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-07-30 15:07:58 EDT

Is that really the only patch? It looks short...

Comment 5 Pekka Savola 2001-07-30 15:20:27 EDT

No; this is just an additonal patch, required to make autoconf'ized IPv6-enabling to work
(there were bugs in KAME patch).

The main patch is at ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/wget-17*, or a tailed-down version 
(patches to configure, libtool etc. removed) in my .src.rpm.

Comment 6 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-08-09 15:14:06 EDT

-2 from your site doesn't build properly:

gcc -I. -I.    -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSTEM_WGETRC=\"/etc/wgetrc\"
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c host.c
host.c: In function `store_hostaddress':
host.c:209: structure has no member named `sa_len'

Comment 7 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-08-09 15:15:33 EDT

It does build with --enable-ipv6, but needs to build without it as well.

ipv4-only compilation fix

Comment 9 Pekka Savola 2001-08-11 07:21:14 EDT

Sigh..  there's a dummy sa_len that isn't used anywhere at least yet.  sa_len was removed in glibc 2.2.

Attached patch will fix it.  Also updated in my src.rpm.

Comment 10 Pekka Savola 2001-11-06 15:51:44 EST

Mmm.  I really don't get why WONTFIX?

Comment 11 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-06 16:02:59 EST

Mainly because I'd like someone to push it into the upstream version :)

Comment 12 Pekka Savola 2001-11-06 16:12:49 EST

Sigh.
