Bug#121977: bad link to the original version in the MIME policy and the menu policy
Anthony, There are some URL errors in the current debian-policy package. Can we upload a patched version without changing any other content?

Package: debian-policy Hi, These two links: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/mime_policy.txt ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/menu-policy.txt They are incorrect. Please fix them (the correction should be obvious :). TIA. -- 2. That which causes joy or happiness.

Actually, which version of policy were you looking at? This was fixed in version 3.5.0.0, AFAICT. Closing this report. Uh, this is what I got from the the aforementioned FTP site :P I noticed this when I updated our scripts that copy that stuff to the web server. I just checked _again_ to make sure. One of them is missing the .gz suffix, and the other is both missing that and has an underscore instead of a hyphen. Nothing has changed since the time I initially filed this bug. (This is actually an FTP ref., not an HTTP ref. Maybe we should also put in HTTP refs.) No, I was suggesting that you replace FTP with HTTP. HTTP tends to have a smaller startup lag. -- 2.

Where exactly are you finding this incorrect URL? (This is actually an FTP ref., not an HTTP ref. Maybe we should also put in HTTP refs.) No, I was suggesting that you replace FTP with HTTP. HTTP tends to have a smaller startup lag. In the text version, we have: It may also be found on the Debian FTP site ftp.debian.org as the file /debian/doc/package-developer/mime-policy.txt.gz, or in the equivalent location on your local mirror. Would be difficult to write that as http://ftp.debian.org/... ;-) Julian -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Julian Gilbey, Dept of Maths, Debian GNU/Linux Developer Queen Mary, Univ. of London see http://people.debian.org/~jdg/ http://www.maths.qmul.ac.uk/~jdg/ or http://www.debian.org/ Visit http://www.thehungersite.com/ to help feed the hungry Also: http://www.helpthehungry.org/
