Description Bert Smith 2024-07-02 12:27:27 UTC

Building mail-client/alpine with the +ipv6 use flag does not work correctly.

Attempting to connect to an IMAP or SMTP server which only has AAAA records fails (eg mail.ev6.net). 

Manually editing alpine-2.26/imap/Makefile and changing IP=4 to IP=6 does work, so it would seem the configure script is not setting the IP6 build option correctly.
