[opensuse] slp service: ipv6 compatibility?
with the "slp" service, I was trying to limit it's interfaces to my private interfaces when I notice that it's not listening on any ipv6 addresses. Does slp not work with ipv6? I thought service discovery was more important in the ipv6 world where autoconfig seems to be more prevalent? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

AFAIK openslp-1 doesn't support IPv6, but openslp-2 does. It's not packaged for openSUSE, though.

---- Sigh -- I keep thining that opensuse supports ipv6....but then I keep running into key utils that don't. Very frustrating. I just tried adding ipv6 to my local net and had so many things break that the setup became unusable. Does opensuse have any sort of plans or commitment to become completely ipv6 compatible anytime in my lifetime?...:-) sigh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What broke? I'm on an IPv6 network at the office and everything (GNOME
VFS, SSH, DNS, HTTP, IPP printing, Avahi, etc...) "just works".
But I don't use SLP. I'd like to. But it seems there is nearly no
documentation and next to nothing supports it.

For each one that does not work, please fill a bug report.

Yes, but there are many bugs, that needs to be addressed for that to happend, we rely on user bug reports. one way to quickly determine which applications *MAY* not work , is installing pax-utils and run #scanelf -lpqs -gethostbyname , however we know about those already, is just that they need to be fixed at some point.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
