   Hello RJ!   
      
   28 May 15 10:09, you wrote to me:   
      
    AL>> 1.0.5 is still a work in progress; that's why I haven't committed   
    AL>> it to the Sourceforge Hg repository yet.

   When a release happens, it will be posted here and on SourceForge.

    AL>>   1.0.5 should be considered alpha/beta code, and not for   
    AL>> production use.  Once I am finished with the work in progress, I

    RC>   That might be a good idea...   
      
   It should help avoid confusion, especially with the extra source code    
   repository that was set up.   
      
    AL>>   At that time, I will gladly send you the source archive for   
    AL>> your Debian packaging efforts.

   Are you running your own DNS servers, or are you using a provider?  Most    
   providers at this point offer some degree of IPv6 support.  I'm currently    
   using the free DNS offering at he.net with no issues.  DynDNS does offer IPv6    
   support also, albeit only with a paid account.   
      
   Regards,
