[Apologies for duplicate emails]
Dear Colleagues,
The RIPE NCC will begin implementing the deprecation of the "rev-srv:"
attribute. This was discussed on the DNS WG mailing list and at the RIPE
54 Meeting in Tallinn, Estonia, during the Database Working Group
session. More details are available at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/dns-wg/2007/msg00090.html
The plan suggested on the mailing list will be used and there are three
stages:
- Stage 1: Announcement
- Stage 2: Syntax change
- Stage 3: Clean-up
The details of each stage are outlined below.
Stage 1: Announcement
----------------------
The announcement will let users know that the process is starting.
Over the next month you will need to check any scripts that
auto-generate INET(6)NUM objects. Make sure that no "rev-srv:"
attributes are included in the generated objects.
Stage 2: Syntax change
----------------------
This stage will begin on May 27 2009, when the RIPE NCC will remove the
"rev-srv:" attribute from the RIPE RPSL syntax for INET(6)NUM objects.
Any new objects created after this date must not have this attribute
included. If any objects that include this attribute are modified, then
the "rev-srv:" attributes must be removed.
If you wish to keep the information for documentation purposes, change
the"rev-srv:" attributes into "remarks:" attributes.
The "rev-srv:" attribute will also be removed from the list of inverse
query options.
Stage 3: Clean-up
------------------
The final stage will begin before the RIPE 59 Meeting, which takes place
from 5-9 October, 2009. The clean-up will remove any remaining
"rev-srv:" attributes from these objects. They will be converted into
"remarks:" attributes.
If you have any questions about this, please contact <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>.
