Anyway, this is not the point. My point is that ip6.arpa is not going to be deployed soon by most networks (the 6bone space has not been delegated yet!), so removing ip6.int support is simply moronic.
Marco you just made the point. My question to the debian community now is: Should we support temporary ip6.int and ip6.arpa (that anyway is NOT workingin the libc6 code) or should we just leave the code that comes from the upstream (ip6.arpa)?????
It doesn't cost too much to include the patch and check if it works but to be hounest I find pretty annoying to rebuild libc6 everytime that Ben Collins releases a new version. Without taking into account all the users that might need the same patch and are not subscribed to this mailing list. According to the log of my webserver several people have downloaded my pkgs.
That's only mean that there are people that need ip6.int I would really appreciate a feed back. Thanks Fabio
