While our main wiki platform now has quite solid IPv6 support, pretty much on par with IPv4, most of our other, miscellaneous services do not yet have IPv6 enabled. We've established a goal to enable IPv6 for these services during the upcoming year. The reason we won't rush to enable IPv6 support on all services right now is because not all parts of our provisioning/configuration management/DNS setup are fully ready to support IPv6 for every service, and currently it requires a lot of manual work (i.e. manually allocating IPv6 addresses, changing each configuration file / Apache vhost / DNS, etc.) and also causes a lot of issues where other, dependent services break because they suddenly try to contact over IPv6 where this is not expected/supported yet. We've seen part of this with HTTPS support being added hapharzardly, and I don't want to repeat this again with IPv6 where things will be worse (lists.wikimedia.org was an example of this, its IPv6 has been broken multiple times). We're working on improving the automation of provisioning/configuration management of these services and are also taking IPv6 into account. This will enabling IPv6 a lot more efficient and robust. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
