Hi Noah, this bug has been open for nearly 10 years now. In the meantime, enabling IDN for iputils is as simple as specifying USE_IDN=yes in the make commandline. I’ve rebuilt iputils on my machine with USE_IDN=yes and can confirm that it works:
midna /tmp/iputils-20121221 $ sudo ./ping -c 1 zürich.ws PING zürich.ws (64.70.19.198) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mailrelay.198.website.ws (64.70.19.198): icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=202 ms --- zürich.ws ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 202.966/202.966/202.966/0.000 ms Noah, can you please add USE_IDN=yes to the make parameters? Thanks. -- Best regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
