Ah, so you're saying that ipv6 is missing from micro's DISTRO_FEATURES? If that's the case then it's just a bug: presumably it's been harmless in the past because very few packages care about it. Irrespective of that, the intended behaviour is that micro should be IPv6-enabled and turning it off in busybox does not seem like a good idea. Actually, a quick "grep -ri ipv6" in conf/distro didn't turn up any matches at all, so enabling IPv6 by DISTRO_FEATURES doesn't seem to be terribly well entrenched at the moment. If it were to be introduced then I suspect it would need to be a negative property (i.e. the feature would be "no ipv6") in order to not break all the existing distros. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
