Half a year ago, I started a promotion campaign to improve + support for fetching ports via IPv6. Research performed in + December, 2015 showed that 10,308 of 25,522 ports are not + fetchable when using IPv6-only as these ports ignore the FreeBSD.org pkg mirror.

+ +

As a result of the campaign, the following servers now + successfully support IPv6:

+ +
    +
  1. mirror.amdmi3.ru
    2. + +
  2. vault.centos.org
    3. + +
  3. mirror.centos.org
    4. + +
  4. gstreamer.freedesktop.org
    5. + +
  5. people.freebsd.org
    6. +
+ +

This enables 711 more ports to be fetched via IPv6.

+ +

I would like to thank Wolfgang Zenker who is very active in + supporting the adoption of IPv6. During the latest RIPE + meeting, he brought up the topic of non-support of IPv6 + being a hindrance to business. I am hopeful that his talk + changed some more minds and will help widen the support of + IPv6.
