Description of problem: Several packages have been flagged for possible incompatibility with ipv6. This bug will document those packages.
Can OSE be considered IPv6 tolerant: meaning your product does not create or use the addresses, but your product will not break if someone introduces an IPv6 in manually. - IE: will it break if a Node or Broker has an external IPv6 address? - I think so, base on assumptions we make in the underling code on IPv4 address. However if this works in theory the Broker's and Nodes could be IPv6 to IPv4 gateways (in a way).
php-pecl-xdebug usr/lib/php/modules/xdebug.so on i686 uses function gethostbyname, which may impact IPv6 support php-pecl-xdebug usr/lib/php/modules/xdebug.so on i686 uses function inet_aton, which may impact IPv6 support php-pecl-xdebug usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so on x86_64 uses function gethostbyname, which may impact IPv6 support php-pecl-xdebug usr/lib64/php/modules/xdebug.so on x86_64 uses function inet_aton, which may impact IPv6 support
Bug 1198780 refers to a problem with Java based cartridges: Java apparently relies on /proc/net/if_inet6 being readable to determine if it can talk IPv6, and this is forbidden by SELinux in OSE

I didn't realize this bug existed already and I went ahead and opened one, which was of course closed as duplicated :D Here's the description I used in the one that I created (just adding it here as complementary info): What is the nature and description of the request? IPv6 is a critical feature for OpenStack. It was a release feature for OSP8 and there are several customers relying on it. Kubernetes doesn’t fully support IPv6 yet. There’s ongoing work but it is still very rough. The initial support for IPv6 was released as part of Kubernetes 1.3, which allows pods to be addressed via IPv6 addresses. Support for services has yet to be added. The ami is to have end-to-end support for IPv6. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) OpenStack has end-to-end support for IPv6 and its customers rely on it. For OpenStack to be successfully deployed and shipped on OpenShift, it needs to be able to process IPv6 requests properly using OpenShift network layer.
I want to just expand on what Flavio has said, and ask that IPV6 *only* be a requirement of this feature. Too often we see systems get IPV4/IPV6 dual stack working, but IPV6 only is ignored and doesn't work. IE a requirement for this feature to be considered complete is the ability to run a cluster only with IPV6 addressing.
