Package: doc-rfc Version: 20030621-1 Followup-For: Bug #287224
Hello, I'd noticed that RFCs 3796 and 4002 are not in any packages that I could find of my own Debian archive. I thought that I'd just add this note, myself -- that there is another Debian user, whom would appreciate it if the doc-rfc package could be updated upon the current RFCs database. Some motivational quux : "As developers", we may have a harder time, at developing software, and "as users", we may have a hard time using software, if we would not not be going on the most current information. Granted, there is rfc-editor.org, as an authority about the most current RFCs; still, someone might start working on one of the doc-rfc files, and not even realize "the RFC used for the thing has been obsoleted by RFC # foo". Incidentally, SunSITE Denmark has HTML copies of the RFCs, already generated, with nice cross-reference links across the RFC database. I'd been using their DB, when I noticed that there were RFCs that they have copy of, and which the doc-rfc package does not appear to provide. I could wonder if it might be possible, with SunSITE Denmark's permission, to include their nice HTML RFCs, with appropriate reference, right in with the doc-rfc packages. For example, there's http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc4002.html The main page for the SunSITE Denmark RFC HyperText archive is: http://rfc.sunsite.dk/main.html or, with frames: http://rfc.sunsite.dk/ I would hope, if they were contacted, they may not have any qualms about their HTML RFCs being included with the doc-rfc packages in Debian, with appropriate credit being clearly given, for their nice RFC-text-to-HTML processing and such. Anyhow, it's nice to have what copies of RFCs there are; much appreciated, sincerely, your effort in maintaining the doc-rfc package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages doc-rfc depends on: ii doc-rfc-fyi-bcp 20030621-1 FYI and BCP RFCs ii doc-rfc-misc 20030621-1 Miscellaneous RFCs ii doc-rfc-old-std 20030621-1 Old Standard RFCs ii doc-rfc-std 20030621-1 Standard RFCs ii doc-rfc-std-proposed 20030621-1 Proposed Standard RFCs -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
