So, it's pretty useful to reference the AFS-3 Programmer's Reference documentation in I-Ds extending existing RPCs, since they're usually the only documentation for a lot of the existing protocol currently. Right now I/we have just been referencing these as you would reference the physical copies. But, since these are easily accessible electronically, it would probably be much better for anyone reading AFS3 I-Ds to provide a link to the electronic versions.
The only way I am aware of to link to these directly is via the OpenAFS git (or theoretically CVS) repository, for example: <http://git.openafs.org/?p=openafs.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/pdf/vvl-spec.pdf;hb=HEAD>, or possibly with some git:// URL; aside from using random sites that mirror these documents, anyway. However, such URLs are rather long and ugly, and would seem subject to change (if the VCS technology is changed again, or if we use something besides gitweb, etc). Should we be providing HTTP URLs to these when referenced in I-Ds, and should they perhaps be copied to a more permanent location? (either somewhere on openafs.org or central.org?) -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
