Version: 1.09-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
libio-interface-perl 1.09 switched to Module::Build, and this causes the
loss of all the previous configure time checks for the different
platforms. Regarding what concerns Debian, this means less interfaces
Linux [1], and tests failures on kFreeBSD [2][3] and Hurd [4]. (These
failures match also the issues got on other non-Linux OSes, see the
upstream bug trackers[5][6]).
The patch I'm proposing unconditionally adds -DUSE_GETIFADDRS to the
build: this makes the patch specific for Debian, waiting for upstream
to actually react on the issues (almost two years with no feedback at
all...). Please consider applying locally in the meanwhile.
