Bug 18892 – ucspi-tcp's tcpserver is broken on ppc with USE ipv6 and possibly on all big endian platforms

• Status: VERIFIED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian Klemke 2003-04-07 07:48:49 UTC]

This patch fixes the problem I noticed, but there might be more of the kind...
The patch only needs to be applied if the ipv6 was also applied.

bouncing back to bug-wranglers as we don't have a ppc-dev running ipv6 to test this, maybe someone familiar with the ipv6 stuff or one of the other bigendian arches can take a look at this

[Comment 2 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) 2003-04-28 02:16:34 UTC]

guys help each other

[Comment 3 Guy Martin (RETIRED) 2003-06-17 11:38:48 UTC]

I don't know how this ebuild works but I can test it on a hppa station which is 
bigendian. can you tell me how to reproduce this and explain the problem you've 
noticed ?

clearing up my bug tracking

[Comment 5 Pieter Van den Abeele (RETIRED) 2004-09-22 12:25:42 UTC]

I have been running .88-r5 on an ipv6 use-flag enabled machine. If you could pass me a test case I can give it a test.

Reassigning to ppc, keeping net-mail in CC

[Comment 7 Pieter Van den Abeele (RETIRED) 2004-10-02 07:10:40 UTC]

Marking as TEST-REQUEST then.

[Comment 8 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-10-31 14:54:52 UTC]

What's status on the test case?

Fixed in CVS, ucspi-tcp-0.88-r9
