Did you read the originating message of this thread? It's being proposed that iputils-ping become the default ping in Debian. In the current package state, that means that ping6 would be installed by default. I stronly support this idea. If things do work out this way, then there is no reason to split ping6 into its own package. Hopefully between now and when sarge is released we will see improved IPv6 support in some of the userland software included with Debian. However, unless we plan on installing a USAGI kernel by default, I don't think we can really claim to offer high-quality IPv6 support in our default installation. Apparently some of the USAGI code is going to be merged with the mainstream kernel for version 2.6, but I doubt sarge will take long enough to release that we get 2.6 as the default kernel. ;^) noah -- Noah Meyerhans Computer Resource Services, MIT Laboratory for Computer Science
