(In reply to Petr Šabata from comment #6)
Nothing has changed about my previous comment. IPv6 support in this
package
is optional. If you want support for it, you can always install
IO::Socket::INET6. Optionally.
Adding a hard dependency on it forces it onto people who don't need it and
differs from upstream behavior.
That's a decision that Fedora (and EPEL) made already:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Networking_Support
[...]
If an application contains native and stable support for both IPv4 and IPv6,
and support for IPv6 does not negatively affect IPv4 then both MUST be enabled
in the Fedora package.
IPv6 is NOT optional unless it breaks IPv4 usage. Please either point to a bug
report saying that installing IO::Socket::INET6 breaks IPv4 connectivity in
Net::Server or add the dependency as required.
If you believe Net::Server users shouldn't have a choice in this
matter, the
best way would be discussing it with upstream. The package could then
follow upstream decision.
If you believe Net::Server users should have a choice in this matter then the
best way would be to propose making IPv6 optional in the Fedora (or EPEL)
Packaging Guidelines. The package could then follow the Packaging Guidelines.
I'm not against IPv6, far from it. Just stating the facts.
As am I.
