THE IANA /etc FILES PACKAGE
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
ABOUT
|
||
|
|
||
|
The iana-etc package installs services(5) and protocols(5) using data from
|
||
|
the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority <http://www.iana.org/>. In future,
|
||
|
other such files may be added.
|
||
|
|
||
|
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.

PORT ALIASES
|
||
|
|
||
|
Please report any additional port aliases that you need. The port-aliases
|
||
|
file contains the current list. To minimize cruft, it includes only
|
||
|
aliases for which there has been reported need.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you need an alias that isn't included, you may see the error:
|
||
|
|
||
|
getaddrinfo: Servname not supported for ai_socktype
|
||
|
|
||
|
Some useful things for finding out what alias is needed:
|
||
|
* strace from <http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~wichert/strace/>
|
||
|
* grep -r 'getaddrinfo' in the appropriate source tree
|
||
|
|
||
|
The various RFCs and such usually list the number for an alias but it may
|
||
|
be faster to just check the FreeBSD services file at
|
||
|
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/services>.

DEPENDENCIES
|
||
|
|
||
|
GNU Awk 3.1.0 or Later
|
||
|
Numerous GNU Awk extensions are used. Awk was chosen over Perl for
|
||
|
its smaller size and more flexible installation process both of which
|
||
|
are important in a bootstrap environment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Version 3.1.0 or later is required for support of the third argument
|
||
|
to match(). The workaround to support older versions would be less
|
||
|
readable and slower so I'd rather not include it without good reason.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Like GNU Awk before 3.1.0, Mawk doesn't support three argument match()
|
||
|
and so is not supported. It also doesn't support network extensions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Make
|
||
|
Testing is only done with GNU Make but incompatibilities with other
|
||
|
make implementations are bugs. Please send patches.
|
||
|
|
||
|
INSTALLATION
|
||
|
|
||
|
The installation process is flexible and friendly to unattended install-
|
||
|
ation 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 throw out the useful comments in generated files, use:
|
||
|
|
||
|
make STRIP=yes
|
||
|
|
||
|
To install to a temporary location as package managers often do, use
|
||
|
DESTDIR like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
make DESTDIR=/mnt/tmp install
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will create /mnt/tmp/etc/services and /mnt/tmp/etc/protocols.
|
||
|
|
||
|
PREFIX is also supported but currently does the same thing as DESTDIR.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For unusual installations,
|
||
|
|
||
|
make DESTDIR=/tmp PREFIX=/foo ETC_DIR=/bar install
|
||
|
|
||
|
will create /tmp/foo/bar/services and /tmp/foo/bar/protocols.
|
||
|
|
||
|
GETTING FRESH DATA
|
||
|
|
||
|
To fetch the latest data from the IANA run:
|
||
|
|
||
|
make get
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
make test
|
||
|
|
||
|
Beware that while test checks for invalid lines in the output files, it
|
||
|
cannot check for applications that might be broken by changes made by
|
||
|
the IANA. In addition, there is generally little of interest in the
|
||
|
IANA's changes unless you're trying to pick a port for new development
|
||
|
in which case you're better off consulting the unfiltered files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
DOCUMENTATION
|
||
|
|
||
|
Man pages are provided by the man-pages package. See
|
||
|
http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/ and
|
||
|
http://freshmeat.net/projects/man-pages/
|
||
|
|
||
|
BUGS
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Makefile uses the .PHONY target which (according to the GNU Make
|
||
|
info page, IIRC) is not supported by other common make implementations.
|
||
|
There are plans to fix this in a future release.
