[opensuse-factory] Problem linking program, missing symbols from RPC
Hello Folks, since one of the last updates, my programs that use rpc do not link anymore. They would require now to be linked with libtirpc.so. Before the rpc code was in glibc I guess. Why has this been changed? Regards, Jörn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

The RPC code in glibc is based on SUN's rpc implementation and does not support IPv6. For this reason, openSUSE (and also other distros) are moving to TIRPC and disable the sunrpc implementation (at build time... code built against it keeps on working) Cheers Dominique

So that development can move faster than within libc and gain important missing features. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

libtirpc was already available independently long before glibc dropped its own rpc implementation.

More to make sure that even the laziest developers realize, that they should have ported their applications to TI-RPC years ago to support IPv6 and that IPv4 only code is a really bad idea in a time, where in a lot of regions no IPv4 addresses are available anymore.
