Inconsistency in registry-list.json #37

Open molangning opened 6 months ago

molangning commented 6 months ago

There are some inconsistency in ftp_site from registry-list.json where

  1. Urls sometimes have their uri scheme or not at all (AFRINIC, ALTDB)
  2. Https urls are given, which are not ftp urls as specified by the ftp_site field (LACNIC)
  3. Some directories does not end with a slash (TC)
  4. Files and directories are mixed (LACNIC, ARIN)
  5. The ftp_site field is not formatted consistently.

I propose a new format where each registries have both database and serial number files defined inside ftp_site with their uri schemes specified. Similarly, the database and serial number file path can be split into different fields. Additionally, a new field http_sites can be added to accommodate for the http sites.

With browsers dropping support for the ftp:// protocol altogether perhaps this field should just be named url:. For the database and serial should we match the irrdv4 configuration field names of import_source: and import_serial_source:?

molangning commented 6 months ago

It should be, but are those values available to the public? I am not familiar with the irrd protocol so please be patient.

Thanks, @molangning! As @merit-schelcj mentioned above, we will attempt to rewrite the fields to align with the irrd route object source format. I think that's the best way to go in terms of consistency and standardization.

Also, rdap connection info is another good thing to have, alongside scripts that regularly checks if the databases are still up and accessible. I have the checker scripts that can update the data accordingly here https://github.com/molangning/irr-tracker

@molangning #36 is approved and ready to be merged. For the tracker you proposed, please go ahead and open a separate issue to outline what you think the requirements for this might be and how we could integrate it into the static site. Feel free to also open a pull request for this as well.

Sure, I will open one soon, thanks a lot!
