This is something I have been working on, and that I was going to write a blueprint for. Feel free to do so yourself, though! >From my notes, here are the stuff that needs some work: - d-i/netcfg support: right now, AFAIK (I have to check that), you cannot install an IPv6-only Ubuntu host. - netboot installation: PXE relies on IPv4 DHCP and TFTP. Are there any IPv6 alternatives, and do we need to do anything special to support these? (there probably aren't, sadly) - DHCPv6: I believe we are going to get this for free with ISC dhcp v4, but it's worth checking. - Network Manager: reportedly, it will work with IPv6, but it cannot be made IPv6-only. That is important in certain use-case. We need to check that. - NFS over IPv6 is currently DOA in lucid (notably, missing kernel support in some place). Not sure about the status of natty. This will need some serious testing. - What about IPv6 support in Eucalyptus and OpenStack? - It would be interesting to check that the network API of the various language interpreter we ship (Python, Perl, etc) are IPv6-ready. - In general, IPv6 will need to be integrated into our QA test-suite. Some of the above are really topics for the foundation team, I understand that. It even spills into desktop. I think IPv6 enablement has to be a cross-team effort. -- Etienne Goyer Technical Account Manager - Canonical Ltd Ubuntu Certified Instructor - LPIC-3 ~= Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings =~ -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
