Re: [netmod] Missing references
Henrik, Benoit My first e-mail was sloppily worded. What I meant was RFC in the Reference clause of a YANG module, since I think that those should be in the Reference section as well. I think that it should apply to the Description clause as well, but that might be more debatable i.e. missing when it appears in Reference I would see as an error, but missing when it appears in Description, um perhaps a warning?

Hi Henrik, It makes sense. Thanks. Regards, B. Hi Benoit, On 2018-02-07 12:56, Benoit Claise wrote: Hi Henrik, Could this check be added to idnits? Yes. I thought I had something like this already, but it was specifically to look out for mentions of RFC2119. As you may know, I'm due to begin a complete rewrite of idnits, from the current implementation (idnits started as a 10-line AWK program to check draft line lengths, in 2000 or 2001) to Python, this March. I'd like to defer this till then; adding code to the now close to 4000 lines of mixed AWK and bash isn't always straightforward. Best regards, Henrik Regards, Benoit I just came across (yet) another example of a reference to an RFC in a description clause of a YANG module that appears nowhere else in the I-D. This seems to be a systematic error that some YANG module authors make; can the tools be modified to pick it up? The logic is simple enough. The latest example is in draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rip-09 which fails to reference RFC5952; I think that the I-D is in the RFC Editor queue.

Re: [netmod] Missing references
Hi Henrik, Could this check be added to idnits? Regards, Benoit I just came across (yet) another example of a reference to an RFC in a description clause of a YANG module that appears nowhere else in the I-D. This seems to be a systematic error that some YANG module authors make; can the tools be modified to pick it up? The logic is simple enough. The latest example is in draft-ietf-rtgwg-yang-rip-09 which fails to reference RFC5952; I think that the I-D is in the RFC Editor queue.
