Nut upsdev - Feb 2010 - nut-2.4.2 : IPV6 badly managed at configure

I installed nut-2.4.2 from sources and IPV6 was disabled whereas
configure detected it, preventing upsd to run properly on my ipv6
enabled system.

In fact, HAVE_IPV6 is never enabled in include/config.h.

If I force
 #define HAVE_IPV6 1
in config.h, everything is back to normal operation.

Jean Philippe,

Thanks for reporting this.

Arjen,

the NUT_CHECK_IPV6 macro sets "nut_have_ipv6", but then references  
"nut_with_ipv6" which is not assigned until after NUT_CHECK_IPV6 is  
called.

Ouch! Sorry about that. Fixed in the trunk. I think we want to  
re-release nut-2.4.2, because this probably is going to hit a great  
number of people.

Best regards, Arjen

Why not do 2.4.3 release? This is just numbers :)

Or 2.4.2.1, or...

I would like to try running the IPv6 code on my test machines before  
we re-release (since IPv6 was broken for a while on FreeBSD without  
the ports tree patches). That will probably be Sunday evening at the  
earliest.

(I admit I was only looking at the configure script summaries when I  
checked to see if IPv6 was working.)
