Bug#430155: ipv6 mirror list
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: minor
Tags: ipv6
X-Debbugs-CC: bjoern@boschman.de
If all hosts in a class (say the ftp.CC.debian.org ones) support ipv6,
that should be recorded on the mirrors page. Otherwise, maybe it is a
good idea to include ipv6 and ipv4 markers as suggested. Here is the
suggestion email to debian-www that I saw:
