IRRd-Discuss

[Christerfer Frazier]

Greetings Benjamin,

Yes IRRd is actively being developed here at Merit by Larry Blunk. The
RADB is run on the IRRd software so we are making constant progress on
its developement. :)

The parser expects that only attributes are fully left justified in
the object. So you need at least a space on the second line of your
import/export.

Using your example:

export:     to AS65002 action
aspath.prepend(AS65000,AS65000,AS65000,AS65000);

The parser interprets aspath.prepend as another attribute. Since there
is not an aspath.prepend attribute you would get an error  

#ERROR: 18: export: Syntax error
#ERROR: 19: ?: Illegal or unrecognized attribute "aspath"

Since you included some whitespace on the second line of the
import/export on the other submission it passed the syntax check.

I hope this answers your questions. I would be happy to follow up...

Regards,
Chris Frazier
