A commit references this bug: Author: kai Date: Sun Apr 14 10:59:13 UTC 2019 New revision: 498885 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/498885 Log: net/fping: Update to 4.2 While I'm here: * Move options block a bit further down according to the PHB Changelog: * New option -x / --reachable to check if the number of reachable hosts is >= a certain number. Useful for example to implement connectivity-checks * Allow decimal numbers for '-t', '-i', '-p', and '-Q' * Fix build with --disable-ipv6 * Fix hang with '-6', with ipv6 kernel module, but not loaded * Assume '-6' if the binary is named 'fping6' (this is mostly for special embedded-distro use cases, and not meant to be used generally in place of compiling IPv6-only binary or using '-6') * Get rid of warning "timeout (-t) value larger than period (-p) produces unexpected results" Also remove patch-configure.ac that no longer applies because the build with IPv6 support for FreeBSD has been fixed with 4.1. https://github.com/schweikert/fping/releases/tag/v4.2 PR: 236739 Submitted by: Jason Harris (maintainer) Approved by: tcberner (mentor) Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19789 Changes: head/net/fping/Makefile head/net/fping/distinfo head/net/fping/files/
Committed, thank you for the patch and sorry when it took a bit longer than usual. The IPV6 option should be revised with the next update - according to the changelog of the 4.1 release the issue in non-IPv6 environments seems to be fixed: https://github.com/schweikert/fping/releases/tag/v4.1 https://github.com/schweikert/fping/issues/118
