Basically, this change makes libtirpc mandatory for nfs-utils, because it is necessary to have IPv6 RPC support. However, libtirpc is always necessary if you want RPC on IPv6, so if we take the decision of making libtirpc mandatory for nfs-utils, we should make it mandatory for all packages that use RPC support, and remove the support for RPC from the toolchain. My opinion is that we should keep things are they are today: nfs-utils uses libtirpc if it's there, and otherwise uses the toolchain RPC support. If a user wants IPv6 support, he should enable libtirpc. Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
