Hello,

Is there any plans to include the IFBrief output in future releases or
patches? Since moving to 2.3.2a7, that portion of the output is no
longer included in the backups.

Is there an easy way to edit bin/rancid to add the support back in?

I do not understand what it is that you're calling "IFBrief output."

With the older version of rancid, the output of "show ip interface
brief" was included in the backups (preceeded in the output by "IFBrief:
etc..."

Since moving to 2.3.2a7, that output is missing from the backups.

No, that was never collected. You had a local modification.

John,

Thanks so much for the answer!

I tried to add it myself by adding this line to the commandtable:

{'show ip interface brief' => "ShowIFBrief"},

And this routine:

sub ShowIFBrief {
print STDERR " In ShowIFBrief: $_" if ($debug);

while (<INPUT>) {
tr/\015//d;
last if (/^$prompt/);
next if (/^(\s*|\s*$cmd\s*)$/);
return(-1) if (/command authorization failed/i);
ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","","","!IFBrief: $_");
}
ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","","","!\n");
return(0);
}

I'm trying to add a way to make local additions (and omissions) like this
easier. but it will not be ready until after 2.3.2.
