Re: draft minutes of DB-WG meeting at RIPE 25

=> The various checks, when they get implemented eventually, should at least
=> generate warnings, both at the time of an update and on a regular basis.

=One note on this one:
=
=The new software doesn't create a new object anymore when adding a NIC
=handle to an existing object. It will only do this when there are other
=differences between the new and old object then the 'changed:' and the
=added NIC handle attribute.

  Thanks for the note.

=> Daniel proposed to add that functionality toi the software itself, probably
=> by adding a whois -T with -v and possibly whois -T to report all objects.
=> This is is already available for listing the schema for an individual object.
=
=Wasn't this proposal on the wish list for a long, long time (and even
=accepted by the database working group as a good thing) ?!?

=davidk> List of current proposals:
=davidk> 
=davidk> 5)  whois -tv

  Yes it was. 
  I'll re-word that to properly reflect history. 
  From the technical point of view, it doesn't hurt to propose it again for
  implementation :-)

=> Action (11) on RIPE NCC (Ambrose Magee),
=>   To change the DB-SW to obsolete the advisory: attribute in inetnum: objects.

=No further comments ... ;-)

  That's the fate of lazy people (like me) who do a cut-n-paste from the
  local *broken* copy.
  
  Yours, standing at the corner of the room,
  and facing the walls,
  Wilfried.
