Hi folks!!! At this moment is impossible normal download and install our love system to users, who have pure IPV6 intermet connection. As I see now, possible only sync portage tree via gateway IPV6==>IPV4. I now try to update my system, and I see, it is impossible to download some distfiles. This is big problem for users, who have access to IPV4 networks only. Lazy stupid ISP and sysadmins(((( For resolve this I can donate VDS fron my own company for pure IPV6 network for portage tree. Co-called mirror))) Gentoo community need this? What I must do for this? With best whishes - Y.D.
There was a bug a few months ago where mirrors3.xml (for mirrorselect) was ipv4-only, but I thought we fixed that. Can you provide specific feedback on what parts are not working on ipv6 for you? -A

Can you provide specific feedback on > what parts are not working on ipv6 for you? > > -A Hi again:) Some details about problem. When I set up pure IPV6 link, I can only do # emerge --sync. Command complete as expected. The portage tree updated successed. Next, when I type # emerge -DNu world, portage launch wget for download (I forgot..) some source package for compile && instal. Src tarball was located on IPV4 only server and I can't download this. As I make on my network correct dual stack, V4+V6, I assign to net interface IPV4 address and route, and successfully update my system. As I say above, users who have pure IPV6 network are impossible install or update packages. Only --sync portage tree work now(((( And... I think, I can help community via donate VDS for IPV6-enabled mirror. With best whishes - YD.
That is not true. In this page http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors2.xml you will find plenty of distfiles ipv6 mirrors, which are the ones that are marked with a * Regarding your offer for community mirror, unfortunately we are not accepting any new community mirrors for now, but thanks a lot for the offer.
