Hi wosch@FreeBSD.org, brian@FreeBSD.org
CC current
( This involves src & 2 (so far) ports, but not cross posted ... )
Ref:
A /usr/share/misc/na.phone < current/src/share/misc/
B /usr/local/share/misc/uk.phone < current/ports/misc/uk.phone
C /usr/local/share/misc/de.phone < current/ports/german/phone
D /usr/share/misc/inter.phone < current/src/share/misc/
Format Examples:
A 510:Oakland:California:CA
B 01227 xxxxx+ :Canterbury, Kent
C 089:München
D 49:89:Munich:Germany, Fed. Rep. of
I suggest we Should :
- Add to /usr/share/misc/inter.phone:
1:*:See /usr/share/misc/na.phone:United States Of America
- Strip/merge inconsistent/duplicate info, EG
de.phone: 001201:Morristown, and Newark, (Northeast) New Jersey
na.phone: 201:Ashbury Park:New Jersey:NJ
na.phone: 201:Newark:New Jersey:NJ
- Sort German list & Add:
0130:Null tarif (Freephone)
0177:Handy (Mobile)
01802:Ortstarif (Local) 12 pf Einmalig (Single unit)
01803:Regional tarif 24pf/minute
01805:Fern tarif (Long Distance) 48pf/minute
01904:Commercial 80pf/minute
01906:Commercial 80pf/minute
01901:Commercial 120pf/minute
01902:Commercial 120pf/minute
01903:Commercial 120pf/minute
01905:Commercial 120pf/minute
01907:Commercial 240pf/minute
01909:Commercial 240pf/minute
01908:Commercial (Support Desk, Pornography etc) 360pf/minute
I suggest we Could :
- Use consistent format in all files , & preferably
no 00 prefixes (use '+' if we must), use '.' not '=' & no spaces,
(to support Hayes auto dialer type devices, & be compatible with
phone exchange logs etc).
- Possibly unify where src/ & ports/ install to, something like this:
xx=/usr[/local]/share/misc/phone
$xx/International
$xx/1_usa
$xx/44_uk
$xx/49_de
( possibly having ports install sym links from /usr/share/misc/? to
/usr/local/share/misc/? ? )
Maybe rather than taking odd national databases in variant formats, someone
may know of a uniform international list, maybe by whoever took over CCITT ?
(& if it's on the net but copyright, no great problem, the ports install
could invoke a make fetch.
