Re: [PATCH] Add option to svnserve to disable ipv6

From: Jim Morris <morris_at_wolfman.com>

Ok that does in fact fix it for me no patch required...

adding --listen-host=0.0.0.0, forced it to use ipv4 and will listen on
that.

I did some research and it seems this is only on some *BSD systems
(netbsd, freebsd (version >= 5), openbsd) where IPV6_V6ONLY is set by
default.

I guess we just need something in the FAQ or Docs to specify this
behavior on those systems.

However if someone wanted to have it listen on both ipv6 and ipv4 I
guess they would have to run the server twice, one with
--listen-host=0.0.0.0 and one with it not set or --listen-host=::1 (or
whatever).

I tested on Linux Fedora Core 3, and it by default listened on both ipv6
and ipv4.

Thanks for the help.
