[Resolvconf-devel] Bug#635470: resolvconf: Feature request: DHCPv6 support

[Geoffrey Sisson]

Package: resolvconf
Version: 1.58
Severity: wishlist
Tags: ipv6 patch

This patch adds basic DHCPv6 support for resolvconf.  It's unlikely
that this is a comlete patch.  For example, some applications might
resonably expect "resolvconf -d eth0" to remove both the IPv4 and
IPv6 interface information.  However, it does provide basic DHCPv6
functionality.
