I think I would rather see a package that only works on hosts that have ipv6 loaded than no ipv6 support at all. And I have a feeling I'm not the only one. It should probably be easy to change the patch to do the right thing. Steinar can you take a look at that? > I'm *really* short on time to fix the compilation (which may be something > trivial).

So linux 3.x thing you mean is #635700. Which also seems to be because the kernel doesn't have IPv6 support, and the code is then trying to do the wrong thing. > I think that I will wait for upstream to integrate IPv6 support. > > But I'm using rtorrent less and less, as my primary bittorrent client is, > right now, qbittorrent. Please consider an request for adoption or orphaning the package if you feel you don't want to maintain it anymore. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
