(consider this a bump of <http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6194>)

I've recently realized those files were looking different from the last time I took a peek - certainly been a while.

I found http://bugs.archlinux.org/9941 and I'm a bit puzzled how one could come to this conclusion:
"We were using the NetBSD files, but the Debian ones from the netbase package appear to be more complete, so I've switched to those."
Strip the comments and empty lines and compare both sets for yourself.

Note that NetBSD syncs from IANA (more or less, see <http://sethwklein.net/iana-etc>) and has included the git port for example since 2007.
This task depends upon

(and Flyspray not recognizing properly enclosed links sucks, too)

Looks great. Btw, you should use  FS#6194  for linking bug reports.

I just downloaded their latest tarball. 'make get' fails to fetch the 'protocols' file properly, the 'services' file is okay.

This fixes the issue, fixing the url.

http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers point to a xml file instead of a txt then awk script fails.

EDIT: I sent this patch to the iana-etc maintainer (Seth)
   Makefile.patch (0.4 KiB)

Yeah, it seems that is the correct fix - I think I can look today.

I added the iana-etc package to testing as a dep of filesystem. Let's see how it works out.

Yup, seems like a good idea, this package.
