I"ve been working away on a new IPv6 howto guide for us gentooers. A few minor items need further clarification, or confirmation of config files, etc. I'm submitting the current version to hopefully begin getting comments for fixes/additions. Hopefully we can get this spankin' clean and get it added. Will attach ipv6.xml Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 13750 [details] ipv6.xml documentation file ipv6.xml!
Nice document! The only thing I miss is a section with a sample configuration file, so that you don't have to type in all the ip stuff after a reboot. E.g. I was looking for a configuration-option in /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 to set there my IPv6 address (I use it only in-house to my other system). Maybe I'm blind or there is no option? And maybe there are more users who ask themselves this question.
Created attachment 13807 [details] Edited version of the original document Original document edited (spelling, sentence structure mostly). In the following excerpt, I wasn't sure what the sentence between the listings was referring to. This probably needs to be revised. --- Code listing 4.4 # USE="ipv6" emerge djbdns The initial installation can be handled by doing and then following the instructions. Code listing 4.5 # tinydns-setup ---
Created attachment 14038 [details] revised and supplemented Here's a revised version that incorporates the spelling/grammar changes (thanks for the help, i hate that stuff) and adds a section for setting up 6to4 conversion. i've moved the note about work on init scripts to be placed at the end of the tunnel setup chapter, hopefully that's a better spot for it. Any opinions on adding a small preface that indicates the guide assumes basic knowledge of networking/DNS and IPv6, and has a few links with simple introductions to those issues?
I'll review the doc. You don't have to add any information about prerequisite knowledge... the user will find out soon enough :)
Created attachment 14298 [details] Reviewed document Reviewed document. Will also be posted to the Gentoo Documentation Team for final review. Normally, unless there are showstoppers, this phase should end tomorrow resulting in a commit to the CVS and link from the main documentation website.
I got no remarks. Will commit this asap.
Committed and available on the site.
