I had to delete significant sections of the ipv6 guide tonight, since there's no documentation for these alternatives. Now there's nothing on running an ipv6 dhcp server or client. 2. There are no more stable dhcp/ipv6 packages in the tree. This sucks, both for users that run stable, and for the documentation, since we're only supposed to cover stable packages. - - net-misc/dhcp doesn't get +ipv6 unless you emerge the ~arch version 4.x, and even then, there is NO documentation included on how to use it with ipv6. - - net-misc/dibbler only has ~arch and hardmasked versions available. Can anyone lend the GDP a hand and get us a couple of paragraphs on how to configure a dhcp/ipv6 server and client, similar to what we had in the guide? Ideally with a stable package, or maybe the maintainers could stabilize their ~arch alternatives. I hate to use Markos' Last Rites email as a jumping off point, but it's these kinds of removals, the kind that shaft our users and documentation maintainers, that make me throw up my hands in frustration and take another step toward retirement. Markos, I'm not singling you out; this has been going on for a long time now, with many, many current and former developers: package maintainers almost *never* look at the docs or contact the GDP when going through package removals. I would like this to change. :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk4f1+gACgkQxPWMzpKk6kPmsgCgvix72X4GE0cSVoh10pUGERtk 0xQAn35U5d+2U9fni8FX75NlKIu4wZ10 =DmEh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
