Summary	0001494: libbareosdroplet.so calls gethostbyname()
Description	Hi, our SLE/openSUSE RPM package for Bareos complains: bareos-storage-droplet.x86_64: W: binary-or-shlib-calls-gethostbyname /usr/lib64/bareos/libbareosdroplet.so.21.1.4 The binary calls gethostbyname. Please port the code to use getaddrinfo. As far as I know, this function is deprecated because of lacking IPv6 support. Could an update to getaddrinfo be considered?

bruno-at-bareos 2022-11-14 14:53 manager ~0004832	Otherwise you can also add a rpm filter like it was long time ago for bsmtp addFilter("I: binary-or-shlib-calls-gethostbyname /usr/sbin/bsmtp")
