Packages Collection.
This is a complete rewrite of the RIPE whois client:
- The networkupdate utility is gone (it was restricted to internal RIPE NCC
nodes anyway).
- The cryptpw utility is also gone (it was not of real use for non-RIPE NCC
users anyway).
- The default command name is now whois3.
- The whois3 client does not check for supported flags at the client side,
except for -h (whois host) and -p (whois port). The syntax checks for flags are
made at the server side.
This package is believed to be the successor of net/ripe-whois-tools which
could problably be removed.
