Bug#308725: ITP: dhcpv6 -- a stateful address autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Adam M." <gnuman1@gmail.com>
* Package name : dhcpv6
Version : 0.10
Upstream Author : ?? Not a single one - many...

Description : a stateful address autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6
DHCPv6 is a stateful address autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6, a
counterpart to IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration protocol. It
can either be used independently or it can coexist with its
counterpart protocol. This protocol uses client/server mode of
operation but can also provide support through a Relay Agent.
Current upstream does not appear to be very active. I'm not yet certain
whether I will make this a Debian package or Upstrea/Debian patch. This
depends on how much of the code can be replaced by current libc
functionality.
I should get this package done within a month (so by mid-June) since I
will be doing some code reviewing and not just packaging.
