Re: [Adam Di Carlo adam@onshore.com] [RFC] DDP and www.debian.org merger
Josip Rodin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The index page for DDP documents needs to be implemented with a bit of WML magic, with .wml and .wmh files. From what I managed to observe in the last half an hour or so, all we need is some modification of webwml/english/template/debian/install_manual.wml to something less specific to install manuals etc, and better adjusted for this purpose, and a few lines of WML code to invoke the functions which generate the page. Any comments or even better concrete help would be highly appreciated :) I suggest rather a set of metadata files; these files can be the basis for a little sort of metadata database, so we could say: make-doc-index state=released to get an nice HTML index of the released documents, or make-doc-index state=in-progress to see rough documents which aren't ready yet. The metadata files would include a title, author, relative URL, release state, package if any it appears in. Um... maybe other data too. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onShore.com/

It looks like this is fixed in the current stable version 2.3.1-23 (which I just FTPed). Unless one has this fixed version, the system doesn't run very well with kernel 2.2.12, since the ptys in /dev have the wrong major. So the bottom line is: one needs a newer makedev. The current stable one works, for example. Perhaps there are similar problems for other packages that made it onto older slink CDs, too, so it might be a good idea to add the FTP site to /etc/apt/sources.list and do an `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' before trying the 2.2.x kernels. This doesn't help people without Internet access, though. -- Raj Manandhar ([EMAIL PROTECTED])(256) 922-1512 x2900 --- Received: (at 46799-done) by bugs.debian.org; 26 Mar 2000 00:20:49 + Received: (qmail 24266 invoked from network); 26 Mar 2000 00:20:48 - Received: from 209-122-226-70.s324.tnt1.nyw.ny.dialup.rcn.com (HELO arroz.fake) (@209.122.226.70) by master.debian.org with SMTP; 26 Mar 2000 00:20:48 - Received: by arroz.fake (Postfix, from userid 421) id 7F98A93858; Sat, 25 Mar 2000 20:12:41 -0500 (EST) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: add makedev to notes on running slink with kernel 2.2.x From: Adam Di Carlo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 20:12:41 -0500 Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok, I mentioned you should be running a fully up-to-date slink.

In fact, neither is currently accessable. This isn't very robust. Well, lets just have it all point, for web pages, to www.debian.org. Go ahead and change that in slink, I'll hack it for potato. For downloads, should we point to http.us.debian.org or is there something better? James, if you don't have time to fix the broken links, could you at least send the list of broken links to the debian-boot mail list? I'll try pointing the urlchecker at http://www.debian.org/releases/potato and see what happens. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's probably a good idea for us to check the pages before they become
public. Once you update them, I can force a mirror to va and can run
the url checker from there.

Here's the most recent results. I've gone through and grouped most of
