IANA /etc Files 2.20

IANA /etc Files installs /etc/services and /etc/protocols using data from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Included are snapshots of the data from the IANA, scripts to transform that data into the needed formats, and scripts to fetch the latest data. Installation The installation process is flexible and friendly to unattended installation even though, due to its simplicity, it does not use Autoconf. For basic installation run: make su make install This creates /etc/services and /etc/protocols without using internet access. To install in a different location, use something like: make PREFIX=/mnt/tmp install This would create /mnt/tmp/etc/services and /mnt/tmp/etc/protocols. For unusual installations, "make PREFIX=/foo ETC_DIR=bar install" will create /foo/bar/services and /foo/bar/protocols. Whats New in This Release: - This release contains updated data from the IANA, improvements to the test function, and support for generating stripped files. - It is the second of a series of planned changes intended to meet the needs of distributions..
