Log:
  Merge ping6 to ping

  There is now a single ping binary, which chooses to use ICMP or
ICMPv4
  based on the -4 and -6 options, and the format of the address.

I don’t have IPv4 anymore.
I don’t see any WITHOUT_INET or -DINET checks.
How can I compile INET out now?


I don't see any such checks before, either.  Was it ever possible to
exclude ping by building WITHOUT_INET?

No, for various reasons including startup scripts relying on it etc.
I think no one ever bothered to fully find it all.

But it was possible to just ditch the binary (not installing it into custom images, or rm -f it post-install along with other things).


Now it’s a “dual-stack handling” binary and those we’ve tried with a lot of care to make sure they grow compiling out both ways as you cannot throw away the binary anymore.

I don’t know how hard it is to do this now. I’ll be happy to have a look and help if it’s not a 5 minute job for you knowing the code and split up. Would we just have to handle main.c with #ifdefs and the old ping[4] files from the Makefile or is ping6 also using shared code from the former ping[4]?
