status of FTP get/put using ipv6?

[Harrison, Michael J (Mike)]

Hi all:

I'm new to the busybox world, and am using it on an Android device for
FTP get/put testing.  I noticed there is a patch by Kev Kitchens that
will support "EPSV" mode needed for IPv6 FTP transfers. 

[PATCH] networking/ftpgetput.c: Make ftp client code RFC compliant for IPv4 and IPv6

Will this patch be going into an official distribution soon?  I'm hoping to avoid 
compiling a custom version using the patch, as I have no experience in that area, but 
I'll make plans to do so if IPv6 FTP will not be "officially" supported anytime soon.

thanks for the advice,

Mike Harrison
