Description Simon Arlott 2004-07-20 03:37:46 UTC 
emerge sync resolves hostname to ip before running rsync which doesn't allow for using ipv6:

SYNC="rsync://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/gentoo-portage"
>>> starting rsync with rsync://130.89.175.1/gentoo-portage...

ftp.snt.utwente.nl resolves to 130.89.175.1 and 2001:610:1908:8000::175:1



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set SYNC to a hostname that has an AAAA record
2. emerge sync

Actual Results:  
The hostname is resolved and passed to rsync as an ipv4 ip.

Expected Results:  
Pass the hostname directly to rsync so it can use ipv6 if available.

rsync currently has no syntax for IPv6 literal addresses
