[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] IPv6-Patch for GM



Hi people!

All the IPv6-enthusiasts among you: would you like to do some testing with an
IPv6-patch for GM? Since the patch is really short, I have attached it to this
mail. The patch was made with gnomemeeting-2003-04-11 but it should work with
earlier/later snapshots as well. Here's a short instruction:

- get latest pwlib and openh323 CVS-version
- do "export IPV6FLAG=1" and compile pwlib and openh323
- patch GM with attached patch
- additionally use "--enable-ipv6" with autogen.sh / configure of GM.
- compile and install GM.

This GM version should behave normally when using IPv4 (should be backward
compatible). You can additionally make calls to v6-hosts with the v6-address in
square-brackets, e.g.:

callto://[2001:638:500:200:210:5aff:fe4c:cfd1]

Known issues:
- A6- and AAAA-records don't get resolved properly. This means you can't use a
FQDN that resolves into a v6-IP.
- ILS probably won't work at all with v6-addresses
- There's still a lot of stuff to explore in GM when using this patch and you
might encounter undeterministic behavious of GM when using it.

All credit for this achievement goes solely to Sebastien Josset who did an
excellent job on openh323 and pwlib. I merely tested and created the patch for
GM according to his instructions. So please, show your appreciation to
Sebastien! :-)

Please post any questions you might have on this list.

Christian
