Comments: Data truncated for column 'ip_address' when using IPv6

Description

The contrib.comments system creates the django_comments.ip_address field as a char(15), which doesn't fit an IPv6 REMOTE_ADDR. Entering a comment causes the MySQL error "Data truncated for column 'ip_address'."

I believe IPv6 needs at least 39 characters to store any IP address. After manually modifying the field length in MySQL, the comment system works again.

Django's IPAddressField, at the present moment, only supports IPv4.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

Closing wontfix because it isn't really a problem with Comments - it's a problem with IPAddressField, and support for a IPv6 address field is covered by #811.
