Here's the old IPTrack FAQ entry for IPv6 support. It seems to have been updated quite recently. -- Q: I want feature X implemented and I want it NOW!/I want IPv6 support added A: My time is limited and as I am the only developer actively working on IPplan, only features that are of use to me or are interesting to code up will get added quickly. Other requests will probably get added to the TODO but will receive no attention. One feature request that comes up from time to time is IPv6. Adding IPv6 support will require major effort but has such a limited audience. Ironically the only people that ever requested IPv6 support are either from Telcos, ISP’s or government departments, yet they are never interested in contributing resources! I deam them parasites of the Open Source world - leaching off the good will and effort of the Open Source community, yet give nothing in return.
I had replied to Chip directly but will post it out here now as well. If you go with IPplan then you want to get the latest from CVS/SVN as there have been some patches applied that fix some bits with IPv6 free-space searching and also with utilization calculations. If you just download the 6.00-BETA2 package then you would also want to grab the patch I posted to the bug tracker. Enjoy, I do. -- Mike Oliver, KT2T +1-863-738-2334 kt2t () arrl net -or- mwoliver () gmail com Twitter: @mwoliver
