-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello!
It's the time of year again during which we traditionally discuss the removal of the "ipv6" option. (I've checked my IRC logs since 2008 and we always discussed this during autumn for some reason! :-) ) Recently, we got a patch (https://galileo.mailstation.de/gerrit/#/c/298/) to disable the ipv6 option for NSPR. I'm *not* in favour of that specific patch because it would mean we would basically arbitrarily remove the ipv6 option from random packages, not knowing what might break. Instead, I'd like us to just drop the ipv6 option *completely*. Personally, I've been running every single machine for the last 5 years or so with IPv6 enabled globally - nothing ever broke. And that was independent of the actual existence of IPv6 connectivity (which I didn't always have). As for the argument that things might break if someone doesn't compile IPv6 support into his kernel - things are likely to break if you don't compile-in support for your CPU either. Just don't do that then. We should, of course, add some instructions about that to our documentation but that's something I'll gladly do. Comments? (Please speak up, too, if you're in favour of my proposal; I'm looking at you, Heiko and Saleem! ;-) ) - -- Best regards, Wulf -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlKomLwACgkQnuVXRcSi+5rKVgCgtjpDa9nD6mywBiUYw0lRJjrz Hh8AoN9yXTSeKHERGt74OBcGKcHqgDaQ =wxDt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Exherbo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.exherbo.org/mailman/listinfo/exherbo-dev
