dictd and IPv6 support

Open mcepl opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

dictd as it stands now (9a2f53e) works only with IPv4 (for example, it still uses gethostbyname function). There were efforts in Red Hat to make all their programs working with IPv6, including this bug for dictd. That included this patch against 1.9.15 by @dkopecek, but the patch has never been finished and applied, AFAIK. It meanwhile bitrotten, so it cannot be directly applied to the current checkout.

Attaching the patch here, so it is preserved for posterity.
