Reassigning to net-fs herd.

This is no that easy. You must update init scripts for both nfs and nfsmount to use portmap or rpcbind depending on ipv6 flag.

[Comment 4 Jure Kobal 2009-04-07 18:30:02 UTC]

Same goes for netmount which "depends" on portmap.

There are a few way to do it, but like already said, it's not so easy.

Adds support for rpcbind to nfs-utils

I use the following patch in my local overlay in order to use nfs-utils with rpcbind.

It is quite simple and I am not sure if it is a perfect solution but it might be helpful until someone comes up with a better idea.

nfs-utils-1.1.6-r1 supports USE=ipv6 now

[Comment 7 Niels Ole Salscheider 2009-05-31 11:24:50 UTC]

Thank you for IPv6 support.

Nevertheless, the init scripts still depend on portmap instead of rpcbind.
Since net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.6-r1 blocks net-nds/portmap it could be enough to just replace "portmap" with "rpcbind".
Otherwise the solution I proposed with the patch in comment #5 (the part concerning the init scripts) may be the way to go.

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2009-06-02 19:08:01 UTC]

no they dont.  review the depend() in the rpcbind init.d script.
