Package: approx
Version: 3.1.0
Severity: grave
Just wanted to say that I've been using approx for a while now and am
generally a big fan of it, but a recent upgrade to 3.1.0 broke my setup. :(
The reason is due to the nature of the IPv6 support that has been added.
This seems to stop IPv4 being used if an IPv6 address is found. While
the server I run approx on has an IPv6 address, my network is not
properly configured for IPv6 yet, due to issues(tm). Which means that
some of my other computers are unable to connect to the approx server,
despite a perfectly good IPv4 network existing between them.
I could take down the IPv6 interface on the server approx is running on,
restart approx, and then bring the IPv6 interface back up in order to
try and fix my IPv6 issues. But that is awkward and won't survive
reboots or further approx upgrades, so I'm reluctant to do that.
I was just wondering, is there a way to get approx to listen on IPv4 AND
IPv6 interfaces, if they both exist on the server? If not, are there any
plans to add this back? Or is this a bug?
It's not too much of a problem as I can just fix my apt.sources files to
point to the Debian mirrors as a workaround.
Thanks for all the work on approx,
Adam Spragg.
