Hi,

i would like to hide some traffic engineering communities from bgp advertisements to peers.

I'm using Bird 1.2.4 and from what I have read in the Changelog it should be possible to have something like this in an outbound filter

bgp_community.delete((65000,*));

However, this statement generates a syntax error.

If i remember it correctly, the syntax is:

bgp_community.delete([(65000,*)]);

i tried to run this command on bird 1.2.4 bgp_community.delete([(64960,*)]); but i get the following error: filters, line 4676: Can't add/delete non-pair any hints? br, peter

Because (123,*) is syntax used in 'community sets', delimited like other sets by [ .. ], and community delete now accepts community sets. Therefore you can also do something like:

bgp_community.delete( [(65000,*), (65123,1), (65123,10)..(65123,25)] );

Hello

See this:

And perhaps also this, but it is unrelated:

ok, i guess this will be fixed in 1.2.5? will the crash bug in 1.2.4 ondrej f. mentioned at euro-ix also be fixed in 1.2.5 and is there any scheduled release date? thanks, peter

Not sure which one you mean. There is one (IPv6 specific) already fixed in 1.2.4 and another one (crash during 'show route' [*]) that will be fixed in the next release.

yes, i think it was sth with show route. unfortunately ondrej seems not to have upped his slides to the euro-ix pages.

All these fixes would be in the next release. I planned to just make a release 1.3.0 soon, but there is some delay in it so perhaps we should make 1.2.5 with just the fixes instead.

i would appreciate that. i use the deb distribution packages. this would help a lot if i would not have to start compiling own versions just for a bugfix. thanks, peter
