Point being that we may have to do 2629bis first. It would be so nice to be able to refer to the draft itself in order to cite it :-) I'd like it if the charters were also available by rsync. Even better if we started using a directory per WG... I do the following with my drafts: 1) sort them by WG name. 2) copy the charter. 3) link in any RFCs that the charter references. === #!/usr/bin/perl chdir('/corp/ietf'); system("rsync -avz ftp.rfc-editor.org::rfcs-text-only ftp.ietf.org/rfc"); system("rsync -avz optimus.ietf.org::internet-drafts ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts"); system("cd html.charters; wget -r -l 1 -nv -np -nd -nc http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/"); opendir(DRAFTS,"ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts"); @drafts=readdir(DRAFTS); closedir(DRAFTS); foreach $draft (@drafts) { next if ($draft =~ /^\./); $draft =~ m,draft-([^-]*)-([^-]*)-(.*),; if($1 eq "ietf") { $dir = "id/$1/$2"; $base= $3; } else { $dir = "id/$1"; $base ="$2-$3"; } next if (-f "$dir/$base"); print "$draft -> $dir/$base\n"; system("mkdir -p $dir") unless (-d "$dir"); link("ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/$draft","$dir/$base"); } opendir(CHARTERS,"html-charters"); @charters=readdir(CHARTERS); closedir(CHARTERS); foreach $charter (@charters) { next if ($charter =~ /^\./); if($charter =~ m,(.*)-charter.html,) { # got one, copy it, sanitizing the links. $wgname=$1; $infile="html.charters/$charter"; $dir="id/ietf/$wgname"; system("mkdir -p $dir") unless (-d "$dir"); $outfile="$dir/$charter"; if(-f $outfile ) { # if date of infile is older than outfile print STDERR "$infile: ".(-M $infile)." $outfile: ".(-M $outfile)."\n"; if(-M $infile > -M "$outfile") { print STDERR "$infile not newer than $outfile\n"; } } # okay, process it. open(CHARTER, $infile) || die "Can not open $infile: $!\n"; open(OUTFILE, ">$outfile")|| die "Can not open $outfile: $!\n"; while(<CHARTER>) { # localize references s,href="/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-(.*\.txt)",href="\1",g; if(m,href="/rfc/rfc(.*).txt",) { $rfcnum=$1; s,href="/rfc/rfc(.*).txt",href="rfc\1.txt",g; #print STDERR "looking for rfc$rfcnum.txt\n"; if(! -f "$dir/rfc$rfcnum.txt" && ! -f "$dir/rfc$rfcnum.txt.Z") { $rfc4 = sprintf("%d", $rfcnum); print STDERR "linking: ftp.ietf.org/rfc/$rfc4.txt\n"; link("ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc$rfc4.txt","$dir/rfc$rfcnum.txt") || die "Can not link ftp.ietf.org/rfc/rfc$rfc4.txt: $!\n"; } } print OUTFILE; } close(CHARTER); close(OUTFILE); } } -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Finger me for keys - custom hacks make this fully PGP2 compat iQCVAwUBP1TAz4qHRg3pndX9AQGhZAP/bql06JCfPjf+CoWjRE4Q4jtzzqmjs1bY YwgdZwfbPJML8z1nVlXKdyb/3l2pM70g0uTHIb52QBSrmIOu48DaohdAWeo4xKOy JO0jwxX3VilBmXv6V805tHuHesVxzc6OITKm5MeZ+13gSvIKHjB5L0zDoEgyZlE7 rj653vyo5rU= =M4fN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
