New beta release of the RIPE Database Reimplementation software
by RIPE Database Administration 12 May '00

12 May '00

Dear All, This mail is to notify you of the further progress in the development of the new implementation of the RIPE Database software. The software has a temporary name of RIP, which stands for "Re-Implementation Project". Today, we have made a new prototype of the source code. There have been many changes since the last prototype: most notably, the update functionality has been integrated to the server. You can download this last prototype at the following URL: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/reimp/RIP-0.3.0beta2.tar.gz You can also test the functionality of this prototype of the RIP whois server in 2 ways: - By querying the host reimp.ripe.net at port 43; you will find there a Near-Real-Time Mirror in RPSL format of the live RIPE Database. - By using the RIP Test Database. You can send test updates to this database at the address <auto-rip(a)ripe.net>, and you can query this database at reimp.ripe.net port 4343. Please note the following things when sending updates to the RIP Test DB: - you will get very simple acknowledgements; - mntner, as-block and aut-num objects cannot be created yet; - no notifications are being sent to the "notify" addresses. We would be very pleased if you could test the new implementation in both ways, and let us know your opinions. Please let us also know of any bugs you can find. Please send your comments to the <db-beta(a)ripe.net> mailing list. To subscribe to this list, send a message to <majordomo(a)ripe.net> with the line: subscribe db-beta in the body of your letter. This is a moderated mailing list so some delays in subscription are possible. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Marek Bukowy ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration.

RE: DB consistancy checking tools
by Matthew Robinson 18 Apr '00

18 Apr '00

Firstly my sincere apologies for not sorting something out earlier. I've spent most of my time either building networks or looking after my son Lewis, born 26/03/2000 (two weeks late), weighing 5450g or 12lbs 4oz (I like to over engineer)! The hospital didn't include any instructions and despite several detailed searches I have been unable to locate either a RIPE document or RFC detailed care of a newborn baby! Are people still interested in the idea of a users forum as described below and should we try to have a BoF in Budapest or do we still need more of an list based discussion? -----Original Message----- From: Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet [mailto:woeber@cc.univie.ac.at] Sent: 20 January 2000 14:55 To: matthew(a)planet.net.uk Cc: lir-wg(a)ripe.net; db-wg(a)ripe.net; woeber(a)cc.univie.ac.at Subject: RE: DB consistancy checking tools Matthew, I think this is an interesting proposal: >I have been wondering recently whether a separate group should be set up for >the sole purpose of creating tools/advise/methods/hints 'n' tips for LIR's >to keep on top of their entries and make management easier.

On the more formal side, one of the possible solutions to accomodate that activity might be to create a TaskForce to work on well-defined items during RIPE35 (do you intend to particpate?). This TF might be supported by both LIR and DB, or sponsored by whichever group is seen to be appropriate...

no answer from the RIPE NCC mail-distribution-robot...
by Bornhorst, Ludger 06 Apr '00

06 Apr '00

Hello All, since Tuesday, 04.04.2000 I sent three mails to the RIPE NCC hostmaster account 1. Mail for Ticket NCC#2000012331 2. Mail for Ticket NCC#2000036750 3. Mail for a new address request (no Ticketno yet) and nothing happened. Normally I get a response from the RIPE NCC mail-distribution-robot within minutes, or at least hours. Now it is Thursday and the Mails haven't bounced, so I think they must have been received by someone. Maybe there is a failure at the RIPE NCC mail-distribution-robot...? Am I alone with this, or did anyone have the same experience? kind regards +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ludger Bornhorst Ludger.Bornhorst(a)telekom.de | | Deutsche Telekom AG | | Network Information Center tel +49 441 234 4581 | | Oldenburg, Germany fax +49 441 234 4589 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

RIPE Database main server up and running again
by RIPE Database Administration 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

Dear All, Thank you for your patience. The RIPE Database main server is now up and running again. The queue of updates is being processed, but please take into account that it will take several hours to clear the queue. Technical details: The failure of one of the memory modules of the server caused a parity error, thus forcing the kernel to panic. The memory module had to be replaced and tested. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Daniele Arena ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration.

Whois service running on a backup server
by RIPE Database Administration 28 Mar '00

28 Mar '00

Dear Colleagues, Unfortunately this morning the main RIPE Whois server experienced a hardware crash. We switched the service to a backup server; thus you may find that the response time for whois queries is longer than usual. The updates are currently not being processed, but they are queued; they will be processed as soon as the main server is up and running again. There is no need to resend your updates. We are currently working to repair the hardware damage on the main server, and we hope to return to the normal situation as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Daniele Arena ____________________________ RIPE Database Administration. P.S.: Apologies if you receive this mail more than once.
