I see only two ways of fixing proprietary Java (apart from fixing it
upstream or ignoring the problem):
* wrap java and java_vm binaries in some scripts setting LD_PRELOAD (in
Debian package)
or
* allow sun-java6-* packages to override bindv6only sysctl.
* allow bindv6only to be overridden by process instead of system-wide.
You mean modifying kernel?
Of course not, the kernel already provides everything needed for years, and
these dummy apps can still request bindv6only to 0 on the sockets they listen
on their own, which is also discussed at debian-ctte[1]:
int b = 0;
if (setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, (char *)&b, sizeof(b))==-1)
perror("failed blah");
they would be still inferior to those opening two separate sockets (which
means more fine-grained control like listening on v4 or v6 or both, or
establish means to threat them specifically if necessary), but this is at least
easily doable for brain-damaged apps badly in need for 0.
You have forget, that most apps, which does not work with = 1, are
non-free and mostly completly closed-source.
Yeah we could follow this way and say "f*** on non-free SW", but many
companies, which are using Debian, are also hosting non-free software on
it (we also do it); and it just breaks with this value.
What would our CEO say? "It is not working with Debian, but with every
other distro? Then install distro XYZ!"
I don't think, that this is a good idea :<
