I'm in the process of building up the main source tree but, was wondering what the status was on this project? I can't seem to find anything after 2004. Obvious reasoning behind it, sql is a little easier to script against, and I like to keep things simple :) Thanks for any insight that can be provided.

Obvious reasoning behind it, sql is a little > easier to script against, and I like to keep things simple :) It's a functional rwhois server, with 1 item missing out of it that I know has been implemented multiple times by various companies, just no one else has contributed a patch back to the public domain. (license is gpl) That item is the "xfer" command, which is what arin uses to download the full copy of your database. It shouldn't be too hard to put into it, since the code is fairly clean and very portable (it even compiles and runs on windows). If you do put that functionality into it, it would be nice for to release a v1.1 for the world. Also, obviously no IPv6 records support.

Do you have a contribution repo to contribute a patch should I decide to use it and add it? I see it as a very valuable thing for the community, as it opens up a lot of windows into ease of management. My concern is here, we have a small office with only a few technical people, so to have something that can be administered (safely) with little technical prowess would benefit my sleep patterns!

I'm not very strong in C, but I also need to have something easy to administer (we're looking at ipplan right now) and if this just pulls records out of mysql, it might fit great with it. If someone could add XFER support to it, it would be everything we would need it to be. On 10/09/2009 10:21 AM, Adam Hubscher wrote: > Thank you very much.

However, I'm having to find my way through ipplan which, for some of my users may be cumbersome. It may help you out though :) Walter Keen wrote: > I'm in the same situation.

I've now created a source-forge project with the main file in it. Give me a day or two, and I'll have it fully in svn on there so people can easily make changes to it if necessary. URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rwhoisd-sql/ It's been a while since I last looked at the code, and I now do see a bunch of other (minor) updates that needs to be done (sql libraries, etc) as well.
