Patch on iputils to fix broke IPv6 support

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2006-06-08 03:48:47 UTC]

that doesnt really explain anything

linux/in6.h from linux-headers should be properly defining those

should but ie headers 2.6.16 define those as
#define IPV6_ADDRFORM           1
#define IPV6_2292PKTINFO        2
#define IPV6_2292HOPOPTS        3
#define IPV6_2292DSTOPTS        4
#define IPV6_2292RTHDR          5
#define IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS     6
#define IPV6_CHECKSUM           7
#define IPV6_2292HOPLIMIT       8
#define IPV6_NEXTHOP            9
#define IPV6_AUTHHDR            10      /* obsolete */
#define IPV6_FLOWINFO           11

and then iputils fails

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2006-08-20 00:15:10 UTC]

then the correct fix is to try and use the new defines and if those dont exist, fall back to the older ones

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2006-08-20 00:26:24 UTC]

should be fixed in cvs now
