Details:
This is tracking ticket for the (default) metaserver & IPv6 issues. I'm not
expecting this to get fully resolved soon.
So far:
- The metaserver code has had IPv6 support for some time, and it exist in both
branches (the main branch, and legacy one compatible with older php-versions)
- Freeciv itself has had IPv6 support several versions already. (Not sure if
it was first introduced in 2.1 or 2.2) Anyway, 2.0 used by the warserver
people doesn't have it.
- The Windows version *still* doesn't have IPv6 support. We hope to get it in
2.6.
- I run test IPv6-only metaserver on cazfi.net for some years, but it's now
defunct
- We have no IPv6 enabled server to run metaserver on
While we can have different test setups with IPv6-only metaservers, for the
final switch of the default metaserver, there's one big issue to be solved;
interactions where IPv4-only and IPv6 enabled freecivs are involved.
Metaserver can't just give out IPv6 address of the freeciv server to the
IPv4-only client.
