no, that's it I'm afraid. It's unfortunate that someone would spend the time on the port without arranging/ensuring that it would be carried forward in any further LVS developement. Working code it too valuable to throw away. Once the ipv6 code went into LVS, then the kernel people would maintain the ipv6 part. The other day there was a posting asking about the status of the LVS *bsd port, another one-off effort. Presumably both these people were students who wrote the code to pass some course, but left nothing usable for anyone else. someone offered to help pay for a 2nd ipv6 port, but no-one was interested. With the US Govt mandated to move to ipv6 (presumably as fast as they moved to ADA), it would be nice to have an ipv6 port of LVS, but we don't have one.
