I wanted to get netcat working with IPv6 support, and attempted to USE="ipv6" emerge netcat, which did not work. I then noticed on freshmeat the IPv6 branch of netcat (http://freshmeat.net/projects/netcat/?branch_id=40599) Is there a way possible to incorporate this into the ebuild of netcat or a seperate ebuild? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="ipv6" emerge netcat 2. 3. Actual Results: netcat does not have IPv6 support Expected Results: Allowed me to connect to an IPv6 host
net-misc/nc6 supports both ipv4 and ipv6.
yeah, you really cant file bug reports with little information USE=ipv6 applies an ipv6 patch to netcat
