Hi, I use IPv6 exclusively on my home network and have installed PLD Linux (http://www.pld.org.pl/) on one of my spare machines as it makes many claims about extensive IPv6 support.
These claims are very much justified. Applications such as wget, apache, lynx, proftpd and many others which are also found in Mandrake Linux all support connectivity to both native IPv6 and IPv4 hosts. I have successfully 'migrated' some of the IPv6-enabling patches used by PLD into the Mandrake SRPM packages and are using these packages in a production environment with good results. Therefore, I have two questions: 1:) Is Mandrakesoft interested in achieving a greater degree of IPv6 compliance in both Mandrake Cooker and the next release version of Mandrake Linux ? 2:) Is anybody else working on this ? - if not, I would be happy to volunteer for the job :) I understand that a lot of these patches are not well tested and not entirely suitable for the default build of a package which would be included in a release version of Mandrake. However, I see no reason why any patches couldn't be integrated with the associated SRPM and the specfile modified to allow the user to rebuild it using a command line similar to 'rpm --rebuild --with ipv6 package.src.rpm'. Does anybody have any thoughts on the matter ?
