IPv6 Capable Mirror List

[box293]

I've been testing CentOS 7 with only an IPv6 address.

I can install rpmforge using:

yum install rpmforge-release

This installs ok.

However in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo the base url is http://apt.sw.be/xxxxx

apt.sw.be only resolves to an IPv4 address 193.1.193.67, there is no AAAA record for IPv6.

I've thought about commenting out baseurl and just using mirrorlist which is http://mirrorlist.repoforge.org/xxxx however this also resolves to 103.245.222.133 which is also an IPv4 address, there is no AAAA record for IPv6.

I'm unsure how to contact apt.sw.be to request an AAAA record for IPv6, hence I thought I would start here seeing as this seems to be the official mirror list.

Well, should be ok now for ipv6-only hosts. Can you check it for me?

Not having much luck.

$ ping6 apt.sw.be
unknown host

$ host apt.sw.be
apt.sw.be has address 193.1.193.67

ping6 mirrorlist.repoforge.org
unknown host

$ host mirrorlist.repoforge.org
mirrorlist.repoforge.org is an alias for repoforge.github.io.
repoforge.github.io is an alias for github.map.fastly.net.
github.map.fastly.net has address 151.101.100.133

@box293 my fault - GitHub is not supporting IPv6 https://help.github.com/articles/github-s-ip-addresses/

@box293 the very same is with Gitlab :(

Yeah, strange they are so slow on the IPv6 implementation.
