IT IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION! + +We are using the IPv6 Patch set provided by Alan Coopersmith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +via X.org. + +The patch has a few limitations that we are nicely discussing both with Alan and +X.org and we are trying to provide patches as well. + +KNOWN LIMITATIONS (by us and by upstream) +----------------- + +X will not start if your OS does not have IPv6 up and running. + +-nolisten tcp will disable both ipv6 and ipv4. the 2 protocols + are still considered one. + +numeric ipv6 addresses do not follow the standard (or well known) +scheme of [<ipv6address>]:0.0 but simply <ipv6address>:0.0 + +xauth/xhost do not support -n option at this point in time. + (xauth has been patched upstream already, xhost is more of a political + problem than a technical one but we are working on it) + +Other few small cosmetic things here and there that anyway should not create +any usability problem to users. + +Unofficial packages will be provided via debian.fabbione.net when the right +time will come. + +Regards, +Fabio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
