Hi Michael, Well, actually I'm proposing a change to the GENERIC kernel and make.conf.example to add to the comment that one should add WITHOUT_IPV6 to the make.conf if you enable NO_INET6. That sounds to me like something completely different than contacting all port-maintainers. There may off course be a lot of ports in the ports-collection that do not correctly handle WITHOUT_IPV6, and the maintainers of these ports should be contaced on a per-port basis. Kind regards, Spil.
