IPFire 3 is ready for IPv6. I would appreciate much more to focus on that then and then finally get rid of IPFire 2.
Ok, fair enough. There are precompiled binaries for the needed tools, so this shouldn´t pose a problem.
I think that is even worse. When ever we patch those binaries they will be overwritten on these systems.
I guess this problem exists for different aspects of manually getting IPv6 to work on IPFire 2.x. For example, have a look at the following files that will be edited and might possibly be overwritten.
http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/add-ipv6/extend/prepare /etc/sysconfig/modules /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/resolv.conf /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf (deleted)
http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/add-ipv6/extend/nativ /etc/init.d/network
Therefore, we don't really need the tools to be IPv6-enabled. It would just have made things one step easier.
So, I have added a warning here: http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/add-ipv6/ipv6/extended
