Debian is currently starting to convert some of its packages so they will understand IPv6 which will be eventually the new protocol that is used on the Internet.

Email List

Debian has setup an email list which is used to talk about how to get Debian going with IPv6. You can subscribe to it from the Mailing List subscription page or read the mail archives.

IPv6 Links

First of all you can either find this page on a fast ipv4 site or mirrored on a slow ipv6 site. For some other links you may find useful if you are going to be using IPv6

• Experimental IPv6 archive holds some IPv6 Debian packages
• Peter Bieringer's Linux IPv6 page.
• You can get experimental IPv6 address from 6 bone.
• There is a set of IPv6 patches here.
• The KAME Project is building a BSD IPv6 stack and tools with plenty of interesting documents.
• Your favourite program not IPv6 enabled and you want to modify it yourself? Have a look at Implementing AF-independent application.
• There is also the distribution-independent 'Linux IPv6 Application Porting Project, also in Japan.
• Another Linux IPv6 project is UniverSAl playGround for Ipv6(USAGI) Project.
• Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO has a lot of useful information and mentions IPv6 in Chapter 6
• DMOZ IPv6 Entry is a bunch of links about IPv6 (also called IPng).
• Jim's HOWTO on connecting to freenet6
• My IPv6 Looking Glass to debug your IPv6 network.
• Some hints on getting IPv6 going using Debian

APT Configuration

It's probably best to use one of the IPv6 mirrors to configure apt. Go to the IPv6 Mirrors page for details.

Package Status

Package status has its own page.

After my list of packages and other Debian stuff? That is found on my home Debian page.
