It appears there currently is no easy way to retrieve the current serial from the RIPE DB. We're implementing some software to monitor whether our local mirror is wildly out of sync with the RIPE DB or not.
The current serial is only returned from the NRTM service (whois.ripe.net:4444) by using the "-q sources" command.
