Hi folks,

"RPL Source Routing Header" (CONFIG_IPV6_RPL_LWTUNNEL) is currently
disabled. It seems it is only an oversight since this option is not
explicitly mentioned in debian kernel config file (and features like
"Segment Routing Header encapsulation" are enabled while they are very
close of "RPL Source Routing Header").

We consider to use RPL Source Routing Header in our implementation of
border router for Low-Power and Lossy Networks[1]. So, I would be very
glad to see this option enabled on Debian.

FYI, I have build a custom kernel with this option enabled without any
pain. I could send a patch if you need.

Thank you,

Hi

This bug was filed for a (very) old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution. Maybe it was for a feature enablement which nobody
acted on. We are sorry we were not able to timely deal with this issue.
There are many open bugs for the src:linux package and thus we are
closing older bugs where it's unclear if they still occur in newer
versions and are still relevant to the reporter. For an overview see:
https://bugs.debian.org/src:linux .

If you can reproduce your issue with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

or, if it was a feature addition/wishlist and still consider it
relevant, then:

Please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Please try to provide as much fresh details including kernel logs where
relevant. In particular were an issue is coupled with specific hardware we
might ask you to do additional debugging on your side as the owner of the
hardware.

Regards,
Salvatore
