Improved Query Processing on RIPE Database Serve
by RIPE Database Administration 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

[ Apologies for multiple copies. ] Colleagues, Whois query processing for the RIPE Database Server has been revised to be more consistent and helpful to users. In the past, the server would make a number of changes to the user query without telling the user, for example removing characters that it did not understand or truncating the query. The new implementation will perform exactly the query the user requested, if possible, and give errors when not. Warnings are now returned where appropriate. A full description of the changes may be found here: http://www.ripe.net/db/whois-query-2002.html In general, all correct queries will provide exactly the same results as on the previous version of the server. If you have any questions please send them to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Suggestions may be sent to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>, or discussed on the RIPE Database working group mailing list, details of which may be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/db/index.html -- Shane Kerr RIPE NCC

This is also for address registries like RIPE-NCC so I believe everybody should read this post-whois document and comment before the Atlanta meeting.

Dear Jesus Iglesias, [Please send any operational problems/doubts with the RIPE database to ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net , this is the best address to have your doubts answered]. The failure of your update is related to the fact that you have sent your object quoted: > as-set: AS-BTTEL > descr: BT Telecomunicaciones customers > members: AS8903 > ... Please don't quote the objects, ie send like as-set: AS-BTTEL descr: BT Telecomunicaciones customers members: AS8903 ... Also, we recommend never to send your password in the clean in mail messages, especially to public mailing lists. If you have any more questions, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>.

There are other examples with "same route, different origin AS" in the RIPE-DB (check 194.97.0.0/16), which is sometimes necessary while migrating a network to a new origin AS. So the database should permit entry of this *new* object, instead of checking for modification permission on the *existing* object.

Mailing List Software Migration
by RIPE NCC WebMaster 10 Oct '02

10 Oct '02

Dear Mailing List Subscriber, The RIPE NCC will change its mailing list software from "majordomo" to "mailman" on 17 October 2002. The new mailing list software will give users more options to manage their subscriptions to the RIPE and RIPE NCC mailing lists. Additionally, this change is being made to ensure stability and continuity of mailing list management and archiving. The new mailing list software will give users a number of options using a web interface: - Subscribing and Unsubscribing to mailing lists - Reviewing general information about the mailing lists - Viewing subscriptions to mailing lists - Temporarily disabling mail delivery - Choosing between regular and digests of mailing list postings - Acknowledgements to postings The web interface will be located at the following URL: http://www.ripe.net/mailman/ As well as using the web interface, mailing list users can manage their subscription and retrieve information by using an e-mail client. Further details on this are available at the above URL. Please note that if mailing list users are already subscribed to one or more mailing lists, they do not have to take any action. Messages can still be sent to the regular mailing lists addresses and subscriptions will not have to be re-confirmed. If you have any questions about this migration, please feel free to send an e-mail to <webmaster(a)ripe.net> Kind Regards, Jeroen Bet RIPE NCC Mailing List Moderation

by RIPE Database Administration 09 Oct '02

09 Oct '02

Dear Colleagues, [ Apologies for multiple messages. ] The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the release of Version 3.1.1 of the RIPE Whois server. This software is compliant with both RPSL (RFC-2622) and RPS-Security (RFC-2725). This release adds several user-visible improvements: - MD5-PW authentication added. - IPv6 status changed to comply with new RIPE policy. Detailed release notes can be found at the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/RELEASE-NOTES-3.1.1 You can download this release by anonymous FTP from the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-3.1.1.tar.gz If you do not intend to use the cross-reference files or prefer to build them yourself via "make docs", you can download the source without these files by anonymous FTP from the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/ripe-dbase-3.1.1-nocxref.tar.gz A diff for the 3.1.1 "nocxref" version is also available, if you already have 3.1.0 and would prefer to patch that version instead, at the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/patch-ripe-dbase-3.1.0-nocxref-3.1.1… The client has been updated, with a minor performance increase: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/ripe-whois-3.1.1.tar.gz The Object Parsing Library (OPL) standalone source has also been updated, and is identical to the library used with the release. In the future, we will be releasing the OPL at the same time as the RIPE Whois server to keep them synchronised: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/RPSL-OL-3.1.1.tar.gz If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net> -- Shane Kerr RIPE NCC

creation of taskforce to support the ERX project (early registration xfer)
by Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet 04 Oct '02

04 Oct '02

Dear participants in the DB and LIR WGs, as discussed and agreed in the DB-WG in Rhodes, and reported to the plenary, this is the "heads up" for the creation of a TaskForce (ERX-TF) to help in planning and test-driving the procedures and activities required to *most efficiently* perform the transfer of "early registrations" (sometimes also referred to as "legacy" IPv4 address space) from the ARIN DB to the RIPE DB.. [ For background information about the ERX Project please refer to the RIPE / RIPE NCC web pages. ] The proposed name of the TaskForce is "ERX-TF" . The preliminary and initial description of the activity is as follows: "The goal of the TF is to develop a proposal to the community of the transfer of early registration IPv4 address records (ERX) from ARIN to the RIPE NCC." For a start, I'd expect the TF to review the lessons learned from the transfer of AS Number Objects, and to investigate new or different issues with the already agreed transfer of IPv4 address space objects. The necessary next steps are 1) to ask the bigger community, by way of the mailing lists, whether there are any objections against the creation of the TF 2) to work on a refinement of the mandate, tasks to perform, and the expected results 3) to agree on a schedule, set of participants and to find a coordinator. Most of the work should be done by way of exchanging email amongst the TF Partcipants. Following up on expressions of interest as received during the RIPE43 WG session, an initial list of individuals would be put onto the mailing list. [ please see at the bottom of this mail ] Of course, if you are no longer interested - just let us know. Also, if you _are_ interested to join in - but did not or could not indicate your interest in Rhodes, please get back to us asap! Assuming that there would not be a major show-stopper, could I ask the NCC to follow up with any useful info (list name, draft schedule,...) to get us going as soon as possible? Cheers, Wilfried.
