IIRC, libc6 doesn't support IPv6; you need a beta version for that. So this
is only an issue if we intend to release one of the libc6.1 using ports.
In the next weeks my site will go on the 6bone and I plan using debian
for our IPv6 gateway box. Where can I find a libc6.1 for intel?
I have uploaded i386 binaries and source to
http://master.debian.org/%7Eespy/glibc/.
I built the package with 2.1.125ac2 kernel headers.
Note that the binary packages have had no testing, the packaging is
*probably* OK, but I can't vouch for the libraries themselves.
The packaging should support all Debian architectures, i386, powerpc, and
sparc have all been tested with this or somewhat earlier incarnations of my
packaging.
Will the current netutils just work with IPv6 after recompiling or
do I have to patch it?
AFAIK, the current Debian net-tools is new enough that a reconfig
(net-tools has an interactive configure script to decide which protocols it
should support) and recompile should offer IPv6 support.
BTW, please be aware that this is only a test release, and you probably
will find bugs.
