Package: mirrors
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6
Good evening,
we were just trying to install & update a cluster of Debian VMs,
when we were hit by the same bug that was reported by Jens Link in bug
#961296 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=961296).
I am a bit puzzled on what to do here, as the machines are in an
IPv6 only environment that does not have any access to the IPv4 world.
We are encountering more and more IPv6 only networks as it is not
feasible to use dual stack in these islands anymore, because they
are routing wise far from any IPv4 networks.
Is it possible for us to sponsor/help/provide IPv6 DNS servers (and/or
maintenance of them) for the Debian project to fix this problem?
We could probably setup a DNS mirror that does AXFR/IXFR from the
Debian.org DNS servers and thus easily enable anyone else in IPv6 only
servers.
What do you think, is that a possibility to move forward? I think it
would be almost zero effort from the Debian team, as it means only
setting up an AAAA record for the DNS servers.
I assume that Jens would also be in for maintenance, if you would like
to have more than one party maintaining the DNS mirrors, as it scratches
his itch, too.
Best regards,
Nico

As explained, you just use a different mirror whose DNS name does not
depend on v4-only authoritative servers.

No, because all the debian.org authoritative name servers already have
IPv6 connectivity.
What #961296 is about is that, while the current CDN provider for
deb.debian.org (Fastly) is reachable over IPv6, it uses the fastly.net
domain which does not have IPv6-enabled authoritative name servers.
I do not expect that Debian can provide a business case for Fastly to
enable IPv6 connectivity for their authoritative servers, hence I am
closing this bug.
