Bug 609694 – net-misc/rsync-3.1.2: no IPv6 support on musl

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stijn Tintel 2017-02-18 09:43:19 UTC]

Due to a bug in rsync [1], IPv6 support is always disabled on musl systems. Due to this, rsync tries to resolve literal IPv6 addresses.

On IPv6-only musl systems, this renders portage unusable.

musltoo ~ # eix-sync 
 * Running emerge --sync
>>> Syncing repository 'gentoo' into '/usr/portage'...
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://[2a00:1828:2000:128::10]/gentoo-portage/...

rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(125) [Receiver=3.1.2]
>>> Retrying...

Please grab the fix from Alpine Linux [2], and add it to the musl overlay. Thanks.

I made the proper patch suggested in the samba's bugzilla.

https://github.com/nemunaire/musl/commit/b156a0bae19359a4fb13ad5dc7ed7308fa473602#diff-717ae4b8b1a50f3b5736f51b1059f2d3

The upstreamable part is between lines 11 and 162, further lines are generated by autotools.
