Re: [bug-inetutils] Re: Argpifying ping.

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   There are a few rough edges to be ironed out in ping6. I have
   noticed that ping6 needs rot permissions to even handle the --help
   and --version options. But I think I would fix them in another
   patch.

   Also there are some mismatch in the ping and ping6 code, with
   regard to marking variables/functions static and global
   variables. But I think we should discuss them in a different patch.

Good idea. 


It might be smart to make a note in TODO that ping and ping6 should
share the majority of their parsing detailes instead of duplicating it
in two places.  The only difference between the two should be that one
works with IPv6 and the other with IPv4.  But that too should probobly
be in a seperate patch.
