ANNOUNCEMENT: Second Public Beta Release of Asused
Hi, The RIPE NCC are pleased to announce the release of a second public beta version of Asused. Asused is a tool to check and summarise address space registered in the RIPE database. For a given list of allocations the tool prints various information concerning the allocations and the assignments they contain. The main changes have been to tidy the code and to merge the code ( and version number ) for our internal tool with that of the public version. The only part missing from the public version is now that which performs checks using information that is proprietary to our members. We have also fixed some bugs in the software found by internal and external users: * Free space at the beginning of an allocation was not handled correctly * Some overlapping assignments were being missed. * Assigned address space was not always calculated correctly. * Overlaps caused more than 100% usage. Thanks for the bug reports. The software is written in standard Perl 5 and uses several Perl modules. It was written and tested on BSD/OS 3.1, but should work with any modern UNIX-like operating system. All the files needed are stored in this file: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/asused-3.5.tar.gz You will need to use gzip and tar to extract them, then please follow the instructions in the README file. We are keen to receive your feedback on this software - please address your comments and/or suggestions to me. Cheers, Maldwyn Morris maldwyn@ripe.net Software Manager RIPE NCC
Hi, The RIPE NCC are pleased to announce the release of a third public beta version of Asused - this is Version 3.51. Asused is a tool to check and summarise address space registered in the RIPE database.

The software is written in standard Perl 5 and uses several Perl modules. It was written and tested on BSD/OS 3.1, but should work with any modern UNIX-like operating system.

The changes since Version 3.5 are: * Produce a warning if an assignment overlaps allocation. * Fixed behaviour with RIPE* mnt-by and mnt-lower. * Report all Asused object warnings. * Fixed installation procedure to copy 'iso3166-codes' and 'delegations' files with other libraries to make them available with system-wide installation. * ReadConf() in a public version exitted after first guess without checking other locations. * Fixed command line argument parsing: ranges, prefixes and regids now accepted. * Program name in help now derived from $0. * Usage slightly reworded. Thanks to the following people for bug reports and suggestions: Carsten Schiefner Mark Guz :-) Stephan Mankopf Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Abdullah Saad M. Al-Ashry Herbert Baerten Kevin Bates Juergen Rauschenbach The original author of Asused was Daniel Karrenberg, it was worked on by Roderik Muit and Antony Antony rewrote it. The current version has been extended and fixed by Timur Bakeyev. We are keen to receive your further feedback on this software - please address your comments and/or suggestions to me.
