[Bug 1062735] Re: ethercodes.dat in arpwatch is out of date
I ended up just adding this to my crontab to pull an updated copy once a month. # Update the pci id file 20 120 * * /usr/sbin/update-pciids The easy solution might be to add a cron file to do something similar. A cleaner solution would be to include it into it a dedicated package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062735 Title: ethercodes.dat in arpwatch is out of date To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arpwatch/+bug/1062735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

man (section 8) massagevendor contains some notes about how to update it. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/massagevendor In the changelog Steve Langasek vor...@debian.org said: * Revert change in previous NMU that makes /usr/share/arpwatch/ethercodes.dat a conffile; users who need to modify this can use dpkg-divert instead. Closes: #552792, #550233. This seems like it should be handled similarly to the whois database or other periodically updated data (tzdata's probably one of the most visable and most common to get updates). Maybe the freshclam of clamav approach could be taken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062735 Title: ethercodes.dat in arpwatch is out of date To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arpwatch/+bug/1062735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
