That's a decision that Fedora (and EPEL) made already: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Networking_Support [...] If an application contains native and stable support for both IPv4 and IPv6, and support for IPv6 does not negatively affect IPv4 then both MUST be enabled in the Fedora package. IPv6 is NOT optional unless it breaks IPv4 usage. Please either point to a bug report saying that installing IO::Socket::INET6 breaks IPv4 connectivity in Net::Server or add the dependency as required. > If you believe Net::Server users shouldn't have a choice in this matter, the > best way would be discussing it with upstream. The package could then > follow upstream decision. If you believe Net::Server users should have a choice in this matter then the best way would be to propose making IPv6 optional in the Fedora (or EPEL) Packaging Guidelines. The package could then follow the Packaging Guidelines. > I'm not against IPv6, far from it. Just stating the facts.
