As no IPv4 address will be removed in the forseeable future, existing services won't stop to work. Just new ones will be hidden. Perhaps IPv4-to-IPv6 republishing sites will pop up. Nevertheless, tunneling is a good idea these days. Any chance to set that up automatically? Without automatisms, the user base will remain neglibile. Who would care to work on his net connection if (s)he can seemingly reach any web site in the world already? Another $o.o2 Markus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl. Ing.

An implication that the 10.04 LTS desktop support timeframe will see an exhaustion of IPv4 addresses would be entirely premature. -Dan -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Add miredo to the default install.
Hi, in my opinion, the miredo package should be default on Ubuntu install. Why? IPv6 is proclaimed to be some big future thing that should be acted upon. What better than to have the most known (in my opinion) GNU/Linux distribution be pushing forward with IPv6? It will deploy IPv6 globally a lot quicker, and will be especially useful for those people that their ISPs do not supply an IPv6 address to them. Yes, I know they can manually get the package(s); why do that though? It's a small package, and it's useful, and will help the Internet's progress go quicker. Is anyone else in favour of adding miredo to the default Ubuntu install? Why or why not? Thanks. - H signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Despite using miredo for some time, I propose postponing inclusion of this package in the default desktop seeds until after 10.04.
