Ah, that might explain, why openvpn-devel depended on the package "ip" previously - i was really wondering why, because everything worked fine with ifconfig (I obviously didn't test ip6). > I'd very much like to see this fixed, obviously :-) Same here :) > and while I see > some space benefit in not depending on the "ip" package, I wonder whether > this could be changed to "have *ENABLE_IPROUTE2 default to 'on'", so the > pre-built packages *work*, and if someone is really space constrained, > he can turn it off...? > > That is, apply the following patch... The disadvantage in regard of space is enormous.. if there's no other way to get this fixed, okay, I'm fine with that. However busybox's ifconfig IS capable of manage ipv6 settings, so I'd rather like to see openvpn interacting with ifconfig correctly. > thanks, dito, > gert mirko _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
