Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
please have a look at my attached patch to fix bug 37124, see also |
| 4 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37124 . |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It depends on >=net-misc/rsync-2.6.3 because older versions broke on |
| 7 |
IPv6 literal addresses in the URI (see the rsync bugtracker, |
| 8 |
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1675). I haven't found any |
| 9 |
blockers for these rsync versions in the gentoo bugtracker, and I'm |
| 10 |
running 2.6.6 without any problems. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
The default to use socket.AF_UNSPEC for getaddrinfo() should be save, at |
| 13 |
least all python versions (including non-gentoo) I could find report |
| 14 |
IPv6 hosts first if the kernel is IPv6 enabled _and_ has a global |
| 15 |
address, and IPv4 hosts first if otherwise. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The name of the additional portage setting (RSYNC_IPV) is of course |
| 18 |
subject to discussion as well as the two additional variables introduced |
| 19 |
in the python code, 'rsync_afi' and 'addrinfo'. |
