[ipmt-dev@ripe.net]working group changes
by Rob Blokzijl 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

G'day all, as discussed and decided at the last RIPE Meeting in Barcelona we have a couple of changes in the RIPE Working Groups. These changes consist of the following: - the LIR WG has been reformed into 2 new working groups: o the RIPE NCC Services WG o the RIPE Address Policy WG - the Tools WG has been merged into the RIPE NCC Services WG The RIPE website and mailing lists now reflect these changes. The web pages of the relevant WGs have been changed/updated/created. As for the mailing lists, new mailing lists for the new WGs have been created. All subscribers to the (old) LIR WG list have been subscribed to the 2 new lists. The subscribers to the Tools WG list have been subscribed to the new RIPE NCC Services list. Care has been taken to identify and remove duplicates. It is of course up to individual subscribers to unsubscribe where appropriate. The (old) LIR WG list will remain active till the end of July, but you are all encouraged to start using the new lists as soon as possible. Greetings to you all, Rob Blokzijl

IPMT Progress and web page
by Maldwyn G.T. Morris 25 Feb '02

25 Feb '02

Hello everyone, Sorry for the lack of correspondence - we _have_ been working on IPMT, just not had much to report. We have now made an IPMT web page on the RIPE web site, with the easy-to-remember address: http://www.ripe.net/ipmt Please let me know if you have any comments on the page, or the documents there. There is currently the original old block-diagram, a UML Class Diagram and a UML Use-Case Diagram. I drew the diagrams with Dia, a nice Open Source diagram editor, but I am afraid the exported PNGs are quite large ( my screen is big :-) ), and I couldn't see an easy way to reduce the diagram size in Dia. The files aren't big in terms of KBs though. I had a play with a simple database backend, and it handled all assignments in a slash 14 with ease, and was not that slow for a whole slash 8 - even using the simplest text database. The idea is to make it easy for anyone to get a simple system going, with no "real DB" backend, but let "power-users" easily plug their existing DB in. I am now working on OO Perl modules to sit on top of the above, with full functionality but still just command line.

Re: IPMT Bar BOF at RIPE 41
by Maldwyn G.T. Morris 16 Jan '02

16 Jan '02

Hi all, Well, despite the low attendance ( Me, Manuel and 3 non-RIPE NCC people ), we had a "lively and informed debate" and the discussions and the notes I made from them will definitely help produce a better IPMT. Thanks very much to the guys who came. It was pointed out that there has not been much traffic on IPMT of late. I have been busy recently, but behind the scenes, and hope to have some design docs for you soon. I will also do some research to try and improve the "Bar" part of the BOF - the drinks at Krasnapolsy were TWICE the price of other Central-Amsterdam bars !

Web IP Request
by Manuel Valente 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

Hi all, The tool that RIPE NCC uses to generate IP requests from the web has just been updated. The previous version is running at: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/webiprequest/webiprequest.cgi An updated version ready for public usage is at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/webiprequest-1.2b.tar.gz There will be a presentation on this public version at the upcoming Tools Working Group of the RIPE meeting. This tool could be used as a starting point for the development of IPMT, or as a component. Cheers. -- Manuel Valente - Software Manager - RIPE NCC

RE: Why not APNIC?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Mats, Hello - I'm working with Ben Martel in New Zealand. The reason why we are involved in RIPE rather than APNIC is because we have an interest in developing an IP address management tool, and RIPE is also interested in this topic.

Backend storage for an LIR IP mgmt system
by Ben Martel 17 Dec '01

17 Dec '01

Hi all, As you may remember from an earlier message. We are currently working on an open source LIR IP address management tool and would like your feedback on the following question. What is the preferred choice of backing storage (database) for the IP allocations and pertaining information? We currently have implemented an XML2 backend and a Berkeley DB backend, and intend to add LDAP (actually OpenLDAP)? Would anybody strongly want something else? and why? ~benm -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ben Martel Symmetric Systems Ltd Ph: +64-21-541202 Email: benm at symmetric.co.nz

Would anybody strongly want >something else? and why? > [ Not an answer, but FYI: ] In installing a few existing tools, we found DB setup to be the most time-consuming and error-prone part. So we want to provide an easy "DB-less" install for users who don't have their own and would be confused by a DB setup, but allow users with their own DBs to use them. We'll use Perl DBI/DBD to make this easier.
