[dns-wg] Changes to RIPE NCC's zonelet repository

Dear colleagues,

The RIPE NCC publishes DNS zonelets at the following URL:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/zones

The other RIRs fetch these zonelets to merge their content into the
zones they operate. All zonelet files are published with canonical
filenames, eg. 1.in-addr.arpa-RIPE. Additionally, for the IPv4 reverse
DNS zones, we have been publishing symbolic links with legacy names (eg.
001-RIPE) that point to the canonical names, because old provisioning
software at all the RIRs relied on the legacy names. However, this is no
longer necessary. Therefore, on August 22 2017, we will stop publishing
these legacy files, and all the zonelets will be published only with
their canonical names.

Regards,
Anand Buddhdev
