We've released a new version of the BBN RPKI validator (RPSTIR 0.6) that
should be easier to install and use. I've included release notes for
both v0.5 and v0.6 in this email. Also, if someone has created a list
for RPKI repository operations as Eric Osterweil asked on 2/3, we would
certainly be interested in joining/contributing.
Feedback is most welcome!

RPSTIR 0.6 Release Notes
Release 0.6 of the Relying Party Security Technology for Internet
Routing (RPSTIR) represents significant improvements in several areas,
ranging from user interface to internal code organization.
1. Simplified user interface:
a. Operation is simplified to four user-facing commands:
rpstir-initialize, rpstir-synchronize, rpstir-rpki-rtr-update,
and rpstir-results.
b. Configuration parameters are now consolidated into a single
config file.
c. Logging is now standardized to syslog.
2. The build/installation procedure is faster and makes full use of
Autotools. It now aligns with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
(FHS), so that binaries install by default into /usr/local/bin,
configuration files into /usr/local/etc/rpstir/, the local cache of
the RPKI into /usr/local/var/cache/rpstir/, and so on. The
installation instructions have been improved based on user
experience. For Ubuntu, the line-by-line installation walkthrough
has been updated to reflect the new installation targets.
3. The code base has undergone significant reorganization; related
code has been de-duplicated and pulled into appropriate helper
libraries. Self-testing is now stricter when the valgrind
memory-checking tool is available.
4. This release includes several improvements and bug fixes for memory
leaks, database retrieval errors, and out-of-order insertion of
RPKI objects (a bug detected at IETF 85). The code for retrieving
trust anchors now implements a limited retry to be more robust when
there are connectivity issues. RPSTIR has been updated to work
with Cryptlib 3.4.2.
RPSTIR 0.5 Release Notes
Release 0.5 of the Relying Party Security Technology for Internet
Routing (RPSTIR) was a bug fix and optimization release, and included
the following changes.
1. Optimized the fetching algorithm to reduce the number of rsync
sessions to RPKI repositories.
2. Fixed compatibility issues when fetching from older rsync servers.
3. Fixed support for long (20-octet) serial numbers. Credit to ARIN
for reporting the bug.
4. Ensured that RPSTIR instances are cleaned up and do not interfere
with future instances.
5. Added a mechanism to notify the user via log when a new version of
RPSTIR is available.
6. Added a line-by-line installation walkthrough for Ubuntu.
