Hi,
I made a new tarball of my ti-rpc library for Linux:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/kukuk/ti-rpc/ti-rpc-1.1.tar.bz2
This version contains a libtirpc library, rpcbind, rpcinfo and
rpcgen. IPv6 is working, you can communicate with Solaris over
IPv6.
I have some minor problems with rpcbind: for correct working, you
need the USAGI patch at the moment, so that you can make IPv6 only
binds to a port (which means, IPv4 connections will be rejected
and not forwarded to the IPv6 port).
For the library itself, it needs some more testing and I need to
double check, if the functions will be binary compatible to the
current glibc one. For 32bit architectures this should be already
the case, but I'm not sure about the 64bit plattforms (because of
the int/long usage).
Else I still don't know what the best way is to integrate it into
glibc.
Thorsten
