Clarification for broken packages in IPv6-only environments
(please CC me, as I'm not subscribed)
Hi,
I'm one of the upstream authors of cppTango [1] and that is a direct
dependency of pytango [2].
Some time ago a bug report titled "pytango FTBFS on IPv6-only buildds"
[3] was filed (tagged: serious) and the package maintainer "hacked"
around the problem and could close the issue.
Now I would like to know if being able to run in an IPv6-only
environment is a must have feature for any debian package?
I've found a long-standing release goal [4] and some prior discussion
[5] but no definite answer.
The thing is from our users we have zero requests for this kind of setup
so I'm having a hard time justifying the effort.
Thanks,
Thomas
