Is there no way to make it switchable at runtime (like via `fossil set ipv6 on`) or is it doable but just complicated to implement? Having a compile-time switch effectively doubles the number of binaries one have to built to offer for downloading. The same issue arises for downstream distro packagers. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
