| Peng | What's the process for requesting a kernel config option be enabled? Specifically i'm interested in CONFIG_IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD. | 07:19 |
|---|---|---|
| Peng | It's one half of a bug filed years ago, and closed because there's no apport thing attached. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/447905 | 07:19 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 447905 in linux (Ubuntu) "[karmic] please enable CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF and CONFIG_IPV6_OPTIMISTIC_DAD" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 07:19 |
| Peng | Which i reopened a few minutes ago. And was automatically re-closed. :P | 07:19 |
| apw | Peng: I would file a new bug against Linux, with that old bug linked and see details of why that is a thing we want. Drop the bug number in here. | 09:24 |
| apw | Though I seem to remember that optimistic dad was bad in some circumstances, which is why it is off | 09:25 |
| Peng | Interesting | 09:26 |
| Peng | Do you remember under what circumstances it causes problems? | 09:27 |
| Peng | Regardless, I think the kernel option just enables support. The sysctl would still default off. I think. | 09:27 |
| Peng | So it would just let users shoot themselves in the foot, not shoot their feet automatically. :P | 09:27 |
| apw | Peng: and if that is true, it is likely switchable | 09:28 |
| Peng | If i did file a bug, would I still have to run apport? Or can that be skipped for feature requests? | 09:30 |
| apw | if you ping me the bug I can stop the apport reauest | 09:31 |
| Peng | :3 | 09:31 |

| Peng | apw: Well, I filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1728366 | 10:14 |
