[rancid] wraprancid for rancid 3.x?

[Howard Jones]

Before I dig in, has anyone else already updated Jethro Binks'
wraprancid script to deal with RANCID 3.x? Since rancid-fe is driven by
rancid-types.conf now, I am assuming it will need some love.

I'm trying to merge two different department's internal RANCID servers,
one fairly standard 3.x and one 2.x with some wrapper scripts for
strange devices.

Thanks for any pointers,

Howie

I am not familiar with that script, but in general, it is not necessary to
update scripts - though I hope that they will eventually be - they just
need an appropriate entry in rancid.types.{base,conf}. See the arista
entry. For 3.2, it will benefit from having login defined for the device
type too.

arista;script;arrancid
arista;login;clogin

Hi Howie,

Just to say I haven't looked into it at all, sorry :-/ My dev cycles have
completely gone for the last too-long-a-time.

Jethro.
