not exactly, I've been MIA (missing in action, as we say in Debian) due to
my many real life responsibilities...
and I'm still not really there :-/

thx a lot for your report.
IPv6 is something important, and I'm making everything for both the source
code and the website to be IPv6 enabled.
this was another reason for leaving Eaton website hosting...
sadly, the only v6 access I have is a partial one @home: SFR (in France)
has not setup DNSv6!
this was at least the last time I checked (~2 months ago)

I'll look at the server. ping me if needed

cheers,
arno
