I think it makes sense to ask upstream whether this is intentional https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/675 | 11:59:59 |
| p14 | Off topic: I enabled ipv6 to prove that this brings the builds into alignment (which it does), and immediately firefox is now hanging with 'firefox is not responding, force quit?', immediately making me remember why I had ipv6 disabled in the first place :( | 12:11:14 |
 atemu12 | Uh, huh, check whether your network's IPv6 configuration is actually correct. I once had a rogue WAP announcing a prefix for instance which caused massive issues (though not FF hanging O.o) | 12:38:30 |
| atemu12 | I wonder how a program in the sandbox would even know that IPv6 is disabled | 12:38:49 |
| atemu12 | How did you disable that? | 12:38:52 |
| p14 | Kernel command line ipv6.disable=1 | 12:39:03 |

I wonder how a program in the sandbox would even know that IPv6 is disabled configure.sh does if (socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0) < 0) | 12:39:58 |
| p14 | I don't know for sure that firefox hanging relates to ipv6 being enabled but it is suspicious since I've not otherwise observed that, and it happened pretty quickly after enabling it. But that's also my experience of ipv6 being enabled: random stuff stops working properly in tricky to diagnose ways | 12:40:16 |
| atemu12 | p14: Do you also get super slow page loading times? | 12:40:45 |
| raboof | definitely a good idea to ask upstream. for nixpkgs we definitely want to build with ipv6 support even if the build machine doesn't have it enabled, so we might want to add --enable-ipv6 in the mean time? | 12:41:01 |
| p14 | And I have a good technical ISP who provides good ipv6 support, but I have it disabled at the router. | 12:41:02 |

| raboof | https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/blob/master/configure.ac#L379-L407 I'm not too good with automake, not sure | 12:44:00 |

https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/blob/master/configure.ac#L379-L407 I'm not too good with automake, not sure Tested it here, it looks like enabling it does skip the test. | 12:47:31 |
| p14 | And confirmed that it produces the same executable as output. | 12:50:34 |
| p14 | Is enabling ipv6 in rsync a change to target staging, or master? | 12:51:05 |
