hmm.. as the ripe db needs an exact copy of the current contents before deleting old objects, which we usually obtain from whois... i guess that script no longer works :P anyway, the ripe mailrobot needs a better way to just "delete all objects that are within inetnum: this-until-that" anyway, rather than having to whois the whole pile of crap ip-by-ip to find leftovers :P (why the hell does it need anything besides inetnum: bla-bla and "delete" and the password anyway, not to mention the "overlaps are not covered for" thing ;) see this is why you -need- the whois output to work, scripted deletes require it ;) (just clearing it all and generating new entries from the route table + database is much easier than updating old junk, but the delete process is a bit... crappy ;) not sure how to do this on ipv6 anyway... ipv6 is a bit -much- to just whois one by one to delete the leftovers *grin* maybe an option to clear an entire PA network (and then just re-create the ones actually in use ;) would be .. practical... -- Greetings, Sven Olaf Kamphuis, CB3ROB Ltd. & Co.

And as I am used to copy-paste the result, change what I like, and then send it back, this does not work anymore. Any suggestions are welcome.
I noticed this while trying to do the same yesterday — seems you have to authenticate with the RIPE DB first — via the website. Even specifying "-B" on the whois query you still get a "source: RIPE #Filtered" line.
Of course, how one authenticates with the website when it only supports MD5 password authentication... yes, this is interesting.
