RSS feeds of the ripe.net

I just though of one or two ways to make the content on the RIPE.net even more accessible to the community. I think Vesna mentioned during her presentation at RIPE 48, RSS feeds of training anouncements, RSS feeds of other content like - new anouncements - new documents - etc could be very useful to keep up to date. (especialy after switching to an email program capable of handeling RSS feeds) The other option would be to set up a separate email list for such anouncements so that the title and abstract of every new publication on the site gets posted to the list. -hph

IRRToolSet maintenance moved from RIPE NCC to ISC
by Shane Kerr 17 Dec '04

17 Dec '04

Colleagues, We are happy to announce that the maintenance for the IRRToolSet has moved from the RIPE NCC to the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC). Starting now, ISC will support software development and maintenance of this suite. The new web page for this is: http://www.isc.org/sw/IRRToolSet/ The mailing list has been moved. The new address is <irrtoolset(a)isc.org>. E-mail will be forwarded from the existing mailing list (*). The RIPE NCC believes that ISC's software development model matches the IRRToolSet requirements, and that ISC will be a better home for the software. Operators and developers will have a set-up that is more typical to collaborative open source software, from a company that is experienced and focused on it. The RIPE NCC is grateful to ISC for agreeing to maintain this useful set of tools. We will continue to provide support for RIPE-specific portions and work with ISC in refining the software. -- Shane Kerr Software Manager RIPE NCC (*) When the mailing list forwarding began, Thursday 2004-12-16, filtering was removed. Shortly after the mailing list filtering policy was changed to "subscriber only". Apologies for the unwanted mail received during this period.

Re: [ncc-services-wg] Page listing IP allocations sorted by country?

> I also would like to see this list again! So would I :) This page used to be http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html And we also had http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs6.html Both have now disappeared... These pages listed IP allocations sorted by country and by LIR. I used them only for teaching purposes in my university, and they were INCREDIBLY useful for teaching CIDR! The other files containing country and LIR information that are still available do not fit the same purpose: - ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/delegated-ripencc-latest and ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/ripencc/issued/ do not contain LIR information - ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/ripe.db.gz contains detailed and "raw" data, as compared to previous "allocs" files For a few days the October 2004 version of allocs4.html (not allocs6) was accessible at: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/local-ir/allocations But now this one also has gone... I understand that the other RIRs did not have such files, and I used to be grateful to RIPE for these. Yet I still have a local copy for October 2004, but it is a pity not to be able to access any longer the up-to-date version! I first thought the file was withdrawn for "security reasons". But all the material inside is (presently) still publically avalaible in whois DB. Or even in the following files: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inetnum.gz (64113 KB) ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/split/ripe.db.inet6num.gz (310 KB) And these files are much more complete and thus larger than the former allocs4 and allocs6... It seems that these pages had some interest for a few people. Usage Statistics for www.ripe.net in September 2004 at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/www3/www-http/usage_200409.html indicate that "allocs" files ranked 14 and 15 in the top entry pages: 14 2623 0.01% 1398 0.07% /ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs.html 15 2415 0.01% 974 0.05% /ripencc/mem-services/general/allocs4.html with a total 5000 hits cumulated on that month, and similar stats in previous months... (They also ranked 5 and 6 in Top URLs by Kilobytes!) Hope I might contribute to a future reappearance of these files in any access protocol (FTP/HTTP/etc)? Sincerely, Patrick.
