Bug#975406: bzflag: BZFlag lacks IPv6 support

[Bruno Kleinert]

Package: bzflag
Version: 2.4.20-1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

BZFlag lacks IPv6 support. I searched the bzfs manpage and /usr/share/doc/bzfs-
server for a switch without success.

Since an increasing number of internet service providers in Germany (and
probably in other countries) do not natively support IPv4 anymore, but IPv6, it
is impossible to host a BZFlag server on a dial-up connection. BZFlag should
support IPv6.

Cheers,
Bruno
