# Iana-Etc-&iana-etc-version;

The Iana-Etc package provides data for network services and protocols.

## Installation of Iana-Etc

This package has the option of downloading updated data when internet access is available. If /etc/resolv.conf has a nameserver entry and internet access is available at this step, then apply the IANA get patch and get the updated data:

    patch -Np1 -i ../&iana-etc-get_fix-patch;

    make get

Do not apply the following patch.

The following patch updates the services and protocol files:

    patch -Np1 -i ../&iana-etc-numbers_update-patch;

The following command converts the raw data provided by IANA into the correct formats for the `/etc/protocols` and `/etc/services` data files:

    make

This package does not come with a test suite.
