[db-wg] CVS and Bugzilla for RIPE Whois Server

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC has the source codes of the RIPE Whois Database software 
available under CVS (a version control system) and is publishing the bugs 
via Bugzilla (a bug-tracking system). By doing so, this allows anyone to:

* have early access to new features of the RIPE Database Whois Server 
  Software and
* submit patches to the RIPE Database Whois Server Software.

It also provides an easy and accessible method for submitting and tracking 
bugs and enhancement requests.

To accommodate this feature, a web interface is available to browse the 
source codes at:
http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/whoisserver/

while you can submit and track bugs at:
http://www.ripe.net/bugzilla/.

Stable Source and Binary Releases are available at: 
ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/dbase/software/.

Getting the source codes:

You should type the following commands to check out the latest source code 
under CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.ripe.net:/cvsroot login
[ No password, so just press [ENTER] on password prompt ]
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.ripe.net:/cvsroot co whoisserver

These commands apply to the command line version of the CVS client 
software. A directory of CVS clients is available at:
http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Configuration_Management/Tools/Concurrent_Versions_System/Clients/

Any suggestions about the system can be directed to ripe-dbm at ripe.net .

Best Regards,
