Interesting. The size of the numbers_update patch (3.7M) is 10 times the size of the tarball (201K). Indeed, the entire expanded tarball is only 820K. Wouldn't it be more obvious to tell the user to just download: http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.txt http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.txt Looking at the tarball Makefile, I should be able to do gawk --re-interval -f protocols.gawk -v strip=no \ protocol-numbers.txt > /etc/protocols Which seems to work, but gawk -f services.gawk -v strip=no service-names-port-numbers.txt doesn't produce the right file. In the patches, I don't see any changes to services.gawk, so I don't know how your scripts work. I'll also note that it's somewhat irritating for text files to have line lengths of 300 characters in the iana files. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
