-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A couple of days ago, Markus Friedl merged IPv6 support into the OpenBSD CVS tree. This is a welcome addition, but it presents a few potential problems for the port. The main problem is the lack IPv6 support in most Unices. OpenBSD has it, as do recent versions of NetBSD (presumably), Solaris and Linux but others may not. This could be worked around by liberal use of #ifdefs through the code, but this is something that I am loathe to do. One of my goals has been to keep the _source_ differences as small as possible between the OpenBSD source and my own. For the short term I propose not to merge the IPv6 updates from the OpenBSD tree, but to continue to pick up other changes. Comments?

Yo Damien! This has been discussed a lot on linux-ipsec. It seems that if the ipv6 changes are done properly it should be limited to just a few function call. Of course one guys "proper" is anothers "kludge". If it can be handled by putting in the stubs for the ipv6 now than that seems to me to be the way to go. Once the trees diverge it is always a bummer to get them back together... So back to you, how much has changed in the openBSD version?

Damien, is this something that could be worked around using wrapper functions or macro definitions instead? That's the sort of thing i'd recommend, if it's possible. -- jim knoble jmknoble at pobox.com
