<p>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 <a
href="distcache.freebsd.org">FreeBSD.org pkg mirror</a>.</p>
<p>As a result of the campaign, the following servers now
successfully support IPv6:</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="mirror.amdmi3.ru">mirror.amdmi3.ru</a></li>
<li><a href="vault.centos.org">vault.centos.org</a></li>
<li><a href="mirror.centos.org">mirror.centos.org</a></li>
<li><a href="gstreamer.freedesktop.org">gstreamer.freedesktop.org</a></li>
<li><a href="people.freebsd.org">people.freebsd.org</a></li>
</ol>
<p>This enables 711 more ports to be fetched via IPv6.</p>
<p>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.</p>
