Here is a reply from Charles, who as you recall was the person who
initially queried me.
(from ticket #1682 on Transmission's Trac)
Comment(by charles):
I mostly agree with livings124 on this. I don't think it's unreasonable
for a network-intensive program to require ipv6 hooks in 2009.
One possibility, until Haiku actually gets ipv6 support, would be for you
to maintain a patch that you could apply when building for Haiku. If
there are other, non-ipv6 related issues that could be fixed in the main
Transmission codebase, I'd be happy to take a look at those.
I replied to him privately :
Thank you for providing a reasonable alternative that will hopefully
allow Haiku to use Transmission 1.51+ in the intertrim. I'll pass
your message regarding ticket #1682 to fellow Haiku developers and
will do my best to get the ball rolling for implementing both IPv6 and
MiniUPnP, as well as identifying other potential issues. Once again,
I appreciate your consideration for OS's that aren't Windows, Mac or
use a Unix-or-BSD-like kernel. :)
------
To me, this is an actual path that we can use. I'm hoping that if
such a patch is ever implemented, Charles may be willing to include
some Haiku specific build option to patch the sources.
....back to the GSoC'09 application.
