**Testing the upcoming IPv6 support for Tcl**

This page collects test results from the CVS branch that adds IPv6 support to Tcl.
Currently this branch only covers the Unix platforms, but hopefully Windows will follow soon.

To help with the testing, pull the '''rmax-ipv6-branch''' from Tcl's CVS
(details http://wiki.tcl.tk/25947#pagetoc9eafe239%|%here%|%) and run the usual `configure/make/make test` sequence on it. 

Please update the table to reflect the current state of testing.

***Instructions for editing the Table***
   * If `make test` on rmax-ipv6-branch shows failures that are not present in the rmax-ipv6-merge tag, report FAIL, otherwise report OK.
   * If the branch used to be working, but breaks at some point, leave the OK entry there and add a FAIL entry below it.
   * If it used to fail before, but works now, update the existing line.
   * For FAIL entries, please add a section below the table and paste a representative sample of the output of failing tests.

***Failing Tests***
****(1) Example failure****
`paste your test failures here`

****(2)****
======
cc: "unix/tclUnixChan.c", line 1686: error 1588: "AF_INET6" undefined.
cc: "unix/tclUnixChan.c", line 1684: error 1563: Expression in if must be scalar.

***Pulling the branch from CVS***
Run the following two commands while in the directory into which you want to put the checkout.
======
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl co -P -r rmax-ipv6-branch tcl
======
Once you have checked it out, you can use `cvs up` from within the tcl directory to pull the latest version.<<br>>
Use `cvs up -r rmax-ipv6-merge` and `cvs up -r rmax-ipv6-branch` to switch between the two tags for comparing test results.<<br>>Alternatively you can rename the tcl directory and do a second checkout with the other tag to have the two versions side by side.
