1 Hello,
2
3 I have been searching for a quite long time now for IPv6 support in Gentoo.
4 I am not refering to the kernel, v6 support is there but I miss some (important) packages like ping6, traceroute6 etc.
5
6 Gentoo doesn't have the ip-utils package, the other package I know about is net-tools which indeed is there at sys-apps/net-tools
7
8 According to the author of net-tools it has ping6, traceroute6 etc. included but when I compile it, I don't have it although I have the IPv6 USE-flag set.
9
10 grep -rli xxx /usr/portage/*-*
11
12 doesn't give anything useful, too (x being 'ipv6', 'ping6' or 'traceroute6').
13
14 My question is, if there is anybody responsible for IPv6 at Gentoo or does anybody know how I can get those tools (some guy in the forums had the same problem).
15
16 I am looking forward to do an ebuild :)
17
18 Sincerely
