Package: www.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hello,
(Don't know if this pseudo-package is the proper way for this bug, so please forward if needed.) As IPv6 deployment is current underway for many major websites, and IPv6 support was a release goal since etch, I wish all Debian's public website have an IPv6 connection in addition to IPv4. Specifically: 1. Some Debian machine have IPv6 address, but their public aliases don't. For example, lists.debian.org seems to be an alias of bendel.debian.org, but: $ host bendel.debian.org bendel.debian.org has address 82.195.75.100 bendel.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:41b8:202:deb:216:36ff:fe40:4002 $ host lists.debian.org lists.debian.org has address 82.195.75.100 lists.debian.org mail is handled by 0 bendel.debian.org. 2. Important sites should have IPv6, such as www.debian.org.(www.debian.org had an IPv6 address about one year ago, why it's removed?) $ host www.debian.org www.debian.org has address 128.31.0.51 For this case, can we set up mirror on some IPv6-ready machines, and add dns records like this: www.debian.org : A = X.debian.org, AAAA = Y.debian.org where X.debian.org is v4-only, and Y.debian.org has v6. In fact, many machines listed[1] have IPv6 connection, and it's easy to make use of that.
