Overview

Request 1156190 accepted

- Update to 0.9.4:
* Support BusyBox's ``arping``
* Improve how ARP is handled. If ``ArpFile`` method succeeds, use it
instead of ``ArpingHost``
* Speed up the first call to ``ArpingHost``
* Fix FORCE_METHOD not being respected for IPv4 macs
* Fix `ArpFile` method being used for IPv6
* Deprecate Python 3.6 support
* This release is a *complete rewrite of getmac from the ground up*. The
public API of `getmac` is **unchanged** as part of this rewrite.
* Fully support Python 3.9
* Tentatively support Python 3.10 and 3.11
* `arping` (POSIX) or `SendARP` (Windows) will now *always* be used instead
of sending a UDP packet when looking for the MAC of a IPv4 host, if
they're available and operable (otherwise, UDP + ARP table check will be
used like before).
* Added ability to override the detected platform via `--override-platform`
argument (CLI) or `getmac.getmac.OVERRIDE_PLATFORM` variable (Python).
This will force methods for that platform to be used, regardless of the
actual platform.
* Overhauled `ifconfig` parsing. It should now be far more reliable and
accurate across all platforms.
* Fixed bug with `/proc/net/route` parsing
* Removed man pages from distribution (`getmac.1`/`getmac2.1`). They were
severely out of date and unused.
- Drop patches fix-failing-darwin-test.patch and support-python3.9.patch
- Add patch cope-with-no-ip6.patch
