[Evolution-hackers] ipv6 patch

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Lads,

I was wondering if you could check the patch attached to:

http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=47821

Apparently there are some build issues on redhat 9 - i'm waiting for dobey to mail me the error. 

Some of the guys have been running it for a week or so with no problems, so we're looking at putting it into 2.0.1 real soon now and given its size and its portability issues, I wanted to make sure we didn't hit an explosion of portability issues - although really we're only concerned with modern distros at this point.

We're actually thinking of removing support for systems without getaddrinfo entirely, the emulation code is always going to be a pain to maintain and the redefinition of system structures prone to portability issues (and i really don't want to have to abstract all the structures behind camel- or e-versions).

Thanks,
 Michael
