We also do not plan to separate the database dumps by source. This can be done, but any consumers need to make adjustments or will no longer find out of region objects.
yes, that is the point. We make a change, and people need to update if they rely on this. By splitting the NRTM and database dumps, most implementations only need to add an additional source, rather than reprogram their client software to understand that what used to be a single file containing a single source, now contains multiple sources.
I welcome discussion on these points, we will implement as the DB-WG prefers.
Because of NWI-5 the RIPE IRR is splitting into two, and we should plan accordingly. To me that means separate database dumps and separate NRTM streams.
Although I do not run NRTM, I fully support Job's point of view. It is consistent with current practice. Piotr -- Piotr Strzyżewski Silesian University of Technology, Computer Centre Gliwice, Poland
