They look=20 asleep but I didn't hold a mirror under their nose. If they don't=20 respond we might hack around it in Guix. I suggest that you enable IPv6 support in the meantime. > This would accommodate Guix users who have disabled ipv6. Guix doesn't virtualise the kernel and expects it to provide all=20 that is needful. Linux offers knobs for *everything*; that=20 doesn't mean everything is supported. Disabling kernel support=20 for basic things (namespaces, UNIX domain sockets, IPv6) *will*=20 break certain software. We shouldn't feel obligated to accommodate strange configurations=20 out of the box, but we try to do so when the maintenance cost is=20 very low. In this case, you'd need to ensure the test still runs=20 on the vast majority of systems with IPv6.
