First phase of the migration to the new RIPE Database is completed

[DB-News <]

Dear Colleagues,

The new version of the RIPE Database is now up and running! 
All objects have been automatically converted to RPSL and loaded into 
the new version of the Database.

The first phase of the migration has been successfully completed.

The following mail robots accept updates to the RIPE Database:
auto-dbm@localhost - updates are accepted in RIPE-181 format and 
automatically translated into RPSL. However, several restrictions 
apply to such updates: empty and misspelled attributes are not allowed, 
PGP auth is not supported. Also, RPSL authorization rules apply.

auto-rpsl@localhost - updates are accepted in RPSL format.

This setup will be in place till 14 May, 2001.
