https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206673 --- Comment #5 from Christian Schwarz <me@cschwarz.com> --- (In reply to Max Brazhnikov from comment #4) Yes, you are right, one could just override the _args variable. However, here are my arguments in favor of a dedicated (optional!) _listen variable. A) The port maintainer looses flexibility in the long run. Users who override = the _args variable just for --listen will not receive other changes to the laun= ch arguments in future versions of the port. B) The default listening behavior of quasselcore is not optimal by today's standards. Only IPv4 is supported if `--listen` is not specified. We should support IPv6 wherever we can, in particular if it is so easy. Hence, if we need to specify `--listen` in _args, we might as well factor it out into a dedicated rc variable to support flexibility (-> A). In addition: c) there is no change for existing port users d) I think binding to every interface is expected default behavior for quasselcore. Hence, I (naturally) vote in favor of my patch. I hope you reconsider, Christian --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
