--- Comment #3 from cyclaero@gmail.com ---
(In reply to Nick Hibma from comment #1)

Hello, I am not convinced that this is a good idea.

   1.) ideally the upstream RIR=E2=80=99s are different for different regio=
ns.

   2.) while the RIR=E2=80=99s are usually reliable data providers, it happ=
ened to me
in the past few years of using the ipdtools that the updating failed (for
example, see this issue: https://github.com/cyclaero/ipdb/issues/1).

   3.) why make easy things complicated? What=E2=80=99s wrong with the cron=
 job, which
I suggested in the man file - s.: https://cyclaero.github.io/ipdb/#cronjob

   4.) I cannot find it written somewhere, but in my head the perhaps un
written policy of the daily, weekly and monthly scripts is that it should n=
ot
involve stuff from upstream - perhaps somebody more proficient in *nix syst=
em
administration may want to vote in on this.

All said above dowe not mean =E2=80=9ENO". Only, I want to see some better =
reasoning
for the change.
