ndisc6-1.0.2-r1.ebuild

When using net-misc/ndisc6 to receive both IPv6 address and DNS server settings through router advertisements, rndssd insists in logging the expiry time of the DNS server every second.


logfile entries all look like this:

May 22 23:04:37 HOSTNAME rdnssd[1128]: 0:             IPV6OFDNSSERVER expires at INCREASINGNUMBER


This is caused by a debug line in the source code, guarded by #ifndef NDEBUG.
However, NDEBUG is not set by default.

To set it --disable-assert must be passed to ./configure.

The attached ebuild has QA issues, but fixes my immediate problem of filling up my harddisks with useless messages.
