Package: doc-rfc
Version: 1998.09-1
Severity: wishlist
Would it be difficult to set up a couple of utilities to enable users
to quickly search the RFCs?
Here is a suggested approach, using glimpse (and pstotext):
The working files would go in /var/lib/glimpseindex/rfc
There is one file in the directory to begin with (.glimpse_filters).
It copes with the decompression (etc) required to turn the RFCs into
text again before glimpseindex can make any sense of them.
# /var/lib/glimpseindex/rfc/.glimpse_filters
.gz$ /bin/gunzip -c
.ps.gz$ /usr/bin/pstotext
The second file can be used to create the glimpse database. This can
be run once at installation, or made into a cron job to run, say,
weekly.
# /usr/sbin/rfcglimpseindex
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/glimpseindex -z -n -o -w 5000 -H /var/lib/glimpseindex/rfc
/usr/doc/doc-rfc/all-rfcs >/var/lib/glimpseindex/rfc/.glimpse.out 2>&1
chmod a+r /var/lib/glimpseindex/rfc/.gl*
Finally, a simple script that the users can use to run glimpse on the
database created above.
# /usr/bin/rfcglimpse
#!/bin/bash
glimpse -z -H /var/lib/glimpseindex/rfc $*
If you wanted to get really tricky, you could update tkman to point to
the rfc directory as well!

Version: 20100731-1
Hi,
I know this is a 16-year old bug, so most probably it's no longer
relevant or important, but: the docbase/dhelp/swish++ integration gives
the same results as glimpse, which was removed in around 2001 from
Debian. So at least since version 20100731-1, which improved the docbase
registration, this should work as desired (just tested it with version
20120225-2).
As such, I'll mark it as closed. Yay :)
regards,
iustin
