Proposed Changes
Swaps out the
local_ip_addressdependency forif-addrs. The reason for this is that is thatlocal_ip_addressis a relatively heavy dependency (depends onneli) compared toif-addrsand we only use it to check the presence of an IPv6 interface. This is an experiment to see if we can use the more lightweightif-addrsinstead.Additional Info
Note that the older
if-addrsversion0.10exists in ourCargo.lockas an optional dependency ofif-watchbut we do not actually compile it
