To MySQL staff and developer's team: At http://www.ngn.euro6ix.org/IPv6/mysql you will find a patch to make the last stable version on MySQL, (4.0.8) ready to run on the new protocol IPv6. Far from forking the main line of MySQL development, but with the only purpose to improve the excellence of MySQL as a GPL Open Source DBMS, I suggest you to initialize the process to incorporate this proposal into official CVS tree. A few questions: + I tried to patch the 5.X version on the web, but this seemed to be incomplete and I could not compile it on a clear way. So, the basis for the patch is 4.0.8 + Read the corresponding file "readme-mysql-4.0.8-v6-20040701.txt" on the same URL. You will find some open questions not so easy to solve for me, since I'm not an expert on hacking MySQL system. Future collaboration could include support on IPv6 issues from my side. You should understand that nGn, the company releasing this patch, as a partner of Euro6IX Project has not been assigned so much resources to be full time dedicated to MySQL development. Other interesting projects are in queue to be ported into IPv6. + Some tests have been achieved on a IPv6 network, fully compliant. However, a more exhaustive plan of testing should be scheduled before releasing the code. Anyway, take my gratitude and acknowledge for releasing the Open source code. It has been one oportunity to learn from such a great project like MySQL. I hope you to find it usefull !
