DB RPSL migration task force
- Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 12:38:42 +0200 (CEST)
Re,
at RIPE37 we have agreed to put a task force in place to prepare
for migration to the new RPSL database, and I'd like to take the
opportunity and solicit for members to this task force.
Purpose of this task force should be finding the bugs in the new
code before it is put to real work.
Please review the migration plan at
http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/reimp/new-transition-v3.ps
We also want to raise awareness that the new database is actually
in RPSL format, so there are some significant changes to RIPE-181
format. If you are using scripts to query or update the database
its very likely you have to adapt those scripts and the task force
would like to benefit from your experiences when playing with the
new database and testing your tools.
While RIPE NCC is using a test suite to test the new database the
best test is having real users beat on it.
Remember, you will have to live with the bugs the task force doesn't
find.
If you are interested in participating, please, get back to me and
I'll have you added to the mailing list reimp-mig-tf@localhost
