[sf-lug] done: sf-lug.{com, info} --> www.[ipv6.]sf-lug.org (canonical)

[Michael Paoli]

And those last bits are done:
Got SSL cert and installed for [www.][ipv6.]sf-lug.info,
also had to temporarily add IPv4 address on
[www.]ipv6.sf-lug.info and (due to redirection) www.ipv6.sf-lug.org,
due to letsencrypt.org (in public Beta) still not being able to validate
an IPv6 only site,
and after completing that, the IPv4 addresses that were temporarily added
have been removed from those ipv6 "only" domains.

$ (domain=sf-lug; for www in 'www.' ''; do for ipv6 in '' 'ipv6.'; do  
for tld in org com info; do h="$www$ipv6$domain.$tld"; echo "$h"  
$(curl --silent -I http://"$h"/ | sed -ne 's/^M$//;s/^HTTP\/[^ ]*  
\([0-9][0-9]*\) .*/\1/p;s/^Location: \(..*\)$/\1/p'); done; done; done)
