Well that's dumb. :) I am not sure how would would make that work in the debian package, short of compiling it twice, which also seems dumb, only less so. Full IPv6 support was a goal in *squeeze*, so i would feel kind of bad introducing a package without it at this point. Also, from what I remember, it's pretty easy to implement IPv6 support with backwards IPv4 compatibility - so it seems odd that the option disables ipv4. Maybe we can talk with upstream? There's a good example on how to setup an IPv6 daemon here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/chapter-section-using-api.html -- Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning. - Mahatma Gandhi
