Dear Colleagues, [apologies for duplicate messages] Please find below a list of milestones related to the migration to the new version of the RIPE Database. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Should you have any further question regarding the migration, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Andrei Robachevsky DB Group Manager RIPE NCC ------------------------------------------------------------------ Date Actions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.04 Final release of the v3.0 DB software 12.04 Advised mirror's switchover to rpsl.ripe.net. - Reminder is sent to NRTM clients on 9.04 - Starting from this date NRTM clients that mirror the RIPE Database are advised to use the new server at rpsl.ripe.net, port 4444 for mirroring. 17-18.04 Migration of the TEST database to v3.0 (RPSL) - TEST Database becomes a RPSL database. Updates are accepted in RPSL format at <test-dbm(a)ripe.net>. - No RIPE-181 TEST database exists anymore. - Estimated downtime 6 hours. 22.04-23.04 Migration of the RIPE Database to v3.0 (RPSL) - New server becomes the official RIPE Database server at 00:00 23.04. - Updates received after 16:00, 22.04 are queued until the new server becomes operational.
