FreeBSD and IPv6 only – February 2014
I tried FreeBSD base/head with only an IPv6 address configured on the NIC. While installing some ports, I soon ran into the problem of living in more or less total isolation.
The following files were transferred from /usr/ports/distfiles
on a computer with both IPv4 and IPv6 connections:
pkgconf-0.9.4.tar.bz2
python/setuptools-2.0.1.tar.gz
python/Python-2.7.6.tar.xz
lsof_4.88E.freebsd.tar.bz2
mc-4.8.11.tar.xz
pcre-8.34.tar.bz2
libpng-1.5.18.tar.xz
libpng-1.5.18-apng.patch.gz
cmake-2.8.12.1.tar.gz
icu4c-52_1-src.tgz
These were the ports I attempted to and eventually succeeded in installing:
ports-mgmt/pkg
ports-mgmt/dialog4ports
shells/bash
sysutils/screen
sysutils/htop
devel/subversion
sysutils/xe-guest-utilities
misc/mc
