According to http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@distribution.openoffice.org/msg00934.html and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Planet.osm#Torrent , it might be useful to add the/those ipv6 capable tracker(s) to a second primary group of trackers. |

One tracker ipv4-only, other ipv6-only. Both listed as primary. Works fine for a larger tracker I'm involved with. |

I was wondering if you'd accept that someone else would maintain the IPv6 torrent tracker. I'd be willing to maintain that IPv6 torrent tracker and pay the related hosting costs. I have now set up an instance of opentracker on my server and modified some CentOS6 torrents to add a tracker URL pointing to ipv6.torrent.centos.org. I also have a separate torrent seedbox (elsewhere) on IPv6, and it seems to communicate properly with the new tracker (after adding an entry to /etc/hosts to override the DNS, that is). You can also get access to that tracker server if it's desired. The necessary next steps would be: 1) Add an AAAA record ipv6.torrent.centos.org pointing to 2001:1bc8:100:18::1:102 2) Modify the torrent creation scripts to include "-a http://torrent.centos.org:6969/announce -a http://ipv6.torrent.centos.org:6969/announce". Please note that "-a URL1,URL2" would create a different kind of torrent than "-a URL1 -a URL2". The "-a URL1 -a URL2" method is preferred as it'll create two separate tracker groups. 3) (optional) Get the modified CentOS6 torrents from http://norsu.miuku.net/torrents/ipv6/ and place them in the appropriate place so that they'd get used for any new CentOS6 downloads. Please note that even though the torrents have been modified to include an additional tracker, the info hash is unchanged. This means that the torrent swarm won't be split even if someone now starts using the new torrents. Using these modified torrents now would enable us to test the new tracker with a bit less traffic, as compared to trying the new tracker only when C6.1/C5.7 is eventually released. 4) Notify me when any new torrents are available. opentracker is currently operating in "whitelist" mode, meaning that someone will need to tell it about any new torrents. http://torrenteditor.com/ can be used to easily examine/edit the torrents. I'm also available on #centos-mirror for further questions. |

There's now a script which downloads the info hashes from the IPv4 tracker and tells the IPv6 tracker to use them. This script has been placed in the IPv6 tracker's crontab so it'll be executed periodically. The script can be found from http://tursas.miuku.net/tracker/ This means you can scratch #4 from the previous todo list, so it's now down to two steps and one optional step. If there's anything else I could do to advance this IPv6 tracker project, please let me know. |

Server consolidation in progress .. tursas.miuku.net is no more. The new link for the tracker files is http://villisika.miuku.net/tracker/ and the proposed IPv6 address for ipv6.torrent.centos.org is now 2001:4b98:dc0:41:216:3eff:fe69:46e3. Alternatively, you could make ipv6.torrent.centos.org a CNAME to ipv6tracker.miuku.net. This would give me some flexibility in arranging the tracker server resources. norsu.miuku.net will also be shut down in about a month. To make the modified torrents available even after that server is shut down, I have copied the torrents to http://villisika.miuku.net/torrents/ |

When CentOS 5.9 and 6.4 are eventually released, they should reference both IPv4 and IPv6 trackers. Tagging this bug as QA-6.4, QA-5.9. |

CentOS 5.9 was released yesterday, with torrents pointing to torrent.centos.org and ipv6.torrent.centos.org, so this bug can now be closed. |
