I will look into migrating hnetd to use the regular babeld package next
week but I at least need subtrees to be enabled and that patch of mine
needs to be there. I bumped babels to one or two commits before 1.6.0 to
Juliusz' main branch already and so far that worked out well. I will
just have to figure out if the init-changes make a difference to me or not.
About the patch I submitted it more than a year ago already:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/babel-users/2014-February/001551.html
and have it in babels ever since. I can't find it right now- but if I'm
not all too clumsy I sent a reminder about it to Matthieu and Juliusz a
few weeks / months ago but got no reply to both mails.
Anyway the reasoning is that if you simply do a: ping6 ipv6.google.com
on the router itself, ping6 will simply use connect() or sendto()
without explicitly bind()ing to a source-address address thus the kernel
tries to lookup the route with source-address ::/128 (unspecified
address). If you only have source-restricted routes you then need to
have a route with source ::/128 aswell otherwise ping6 will fail with
sth. like "network is unreachable" and many programs will behave the
same. By default babel though treats these routes as invalid (due to
::/128) so I have to patch the filter.
Cheers,
Steven

Ah, I had warned people on this very list about changes to filter
rules, and
then I managed to miss them because they weren't in the release
notes. My
mistake, will fix.
OK. I am totally ok with, like distributing patches that people can
test for
robustness. If you want to take that on, I will gladly test. If not, I
can attempt
to merge the rules myself.
As far as I can tell, the 4 lines above are all you need (and enabling
ipv6-subtrees in the config file, since it's not compiled in, if you
want that as well).
Best,
