[Bug 593047] Re: distcc fails to distribute to IPv6 addresses [Please import 3.1-5 from Debian, no Ubuntu changes required]

[Daniel Hartwig]

These three patches are all the upstream changes to fix IPv6 issues:
- r650 is small and required for ipv6+zeroconf to work correctly;
- r673 is already included in 3.1-4ubuntu2 (oneiric and later);
- r678 may be considered optional, nice to include for full ipv6 support.

The regression potential of r650 is tiny, given the small size of the
patch it is easy to verify.

Although fixing several other issues, 3.1-5 may not be suitable for a SRU due to unrelated packaging and path changes.  Especially these:
    - 08_gnome-data-public-dirs.patch: install desktop and icon files for
      distccmon-gnome /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps
      respectively (LP: #512288)
  * use dpkg triggers to dynamically generate/update compiler links
    based on the ccache packaging. Thanks to Daniel Schaal
    (Closes: #651670)

See also Bug #521165 for another small patch worth considering (also
fixed in 3.1-5).

Title:
  distcc fails to distribute to IPv6 addresses [Please import 3.1-5 from
  Debian, no Ubuntu changes required]

Status in distcc distributed compiler:
  Unknown
Status in “distcc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “distcc” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: distcc

  Avahi sends out details of distcc servers using both A and AAAA
  records (containing IPv4 and IPv6 addresses).

  The IP address picked by distcc seems random, sometimes the IPv4
  address is written to ~/.distcc/zeroconf/hosts and sometimes the IPv6
  address is.  When the IPv6 address is used distcc fails to send data
  to the server.
