New submission from Torsten Zühlsdorff:
Hello,
i'm done some research about the impact of missing IPv6 support at the FreeBSD ports-tree, which is the list of supported software for FreeBSD.
Python and many libs written in python are supported for FreeBSD, but if you have an IPv6 only server, they are not usable at all. Currently python has the biggest impact on the ports-tree: (https://wiki.freebsd.org/IPv6PortsTODO#TOP_25_hosts_with_missing_IPv6_support)
This is because the server pypi.python.org lacks support for IPv6. There is also no AAAA record in DNS:
$ drill pypi.python.org aaaa
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 9429
;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;; pypi.python.org. IN AAAA
;; ANSWER SECTION:
pypi.python.org. 6983 IN CNAME prod.python.map.fastly.net.
prod.python.map.fastly.net. 5 IN CNAME prod.python.map.fastlylb.net.

Please add IPv6 support to your server(s). If you need any help/feedback/tests i will gladly help you!
Thank you very much,
Torsten
