Hello, The end of the Google summer of code is forthcoming, so this is my final report concerning the IPv6 improvement, under Bjoern Zeeb's mentoring The project aims to make more user space applications fully IPv6 ready. Advancement of the project past/post GSoC can be retrieved here [1] As a result of this program, I had the chance to work on many different pieces of softwares. At the time of writing, the following libraries and programs have been fixed and successfully migrated to ipv6 : - openssl-1.0.1c - contrib/cvs - usr.bin/systat - usr.bin/quota - usr.bin/ypwhich - usr.sbin/ypbind As a reminder, all patches can be retrieved here[2] as well as some regression tests. My work concerning usr.sbin/ypserv has progressed well this past week but will not match the official GSoC deadline and will be part of subsequent work around the IPv6 improvement. Indeed ypserv uses the libc resolver as its subsystem and needs to be fixed with the IPv6 resolver extensions in mind. Therefore, I decided that I will continue contributing on this project after the GSoC and persevere this way. Of course, everybody interested is welcome to join me :) The next step will be to integrate all these changes to HEAD and ensure that all work flawlessly and remain stable. My final words are to thanks all the FreeBSD team which has mentored this SoC and specifically my mentor, Bjoern Zeeb which has been really helpful and a pleasure to work with.
