Dear Release Team,
Please unblock package haproxy.
The version in unstable enables the use of getaddrinfo() (instead of
gethostbyname()) for hostname resolution, thus enabling IPv6 support
when resolving backend addresses (see #862780). Enabling the use of
getaddrinfo injects the following code in the hostname resolution path
(src/standard.c):
#ifdef USE_GETADDRINFO
if (global.tune.options & GTUNE_USE_GAI) {
struct addrinfo hints, *result;
memset(&result, 0, sizeof(result));
memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_family = sa->ss_family ? sa->ss_family : AF_UNSPEC;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_DGRAM;
hints.ai_flags = 0;
hints.ai_protocol = 0;
if (getaddrinfo(str, NULL, &hints, &result) == 0) {
if (!sa->ss_family || sa->ss_family == AF_UNSPEC)
sa->ss_family = result->ai_family;
else if (sa->ss_family != result->ai_family)
goto fail;
switch (result->ai_family) {
case AF_INET:
memcpy((struct sockaddr_in *)sa, result->ai_addr, result->ai_addrlen);
set_host_port(sa, port);
return sa;
case AF_INET6:
memcpy((struct sockaddr_in6 *)sa, result->ai_addr, result->ai_addrlen);
set_host_port(sa, port);
return sa;
}
}
if (result)
freeaddrinfo(result);
}
#endif
We would like to have this change migrate to Stretch, as full IPv6 support has
been a long-standing project goal and the change is not expected to have
any negative side-effects.
Full source debdiff attached.
Thanks,
Apollon
