#19905: make-test-network-all has never detected IPv6 on linux ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: teor | Owner: teor Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.0.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: 0.2.7.3-rc Severity: Normal | Keywords: 029-proposed Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: 0.2 | Reviewer: Sponsor: | ------------------------------+-------------------------------- When I wrote make-test-network-all, I tested IPv6 on OS X and BSD. But it's never worked on Linux.
On BSD and OS X systems, we use: `ping6 -q -c 1 -o ::1` On Linux systems, we should use: `ping6 -q -c 1 -W 1 ::1` You'd think we could get away with: `ping6 -q -c 1 ::1` but BSD / OS X would hang forever on systems where IPv6 packets are dropped, and Linux is somewhat ambiguous about what happens in that case. Over the long term, implementing checks like this in chutney might be a better idea. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19905> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
