Description Raffael Luthiger 2007-03-06 21:26:19 UTC

Description of problem:
The first URL in the chapter 25.1.4 of the RPM Guide (
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch-online-resources.html#id3057699
) does not exist anymore.

Furthermore it would be good if the URLs are linked.

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch-extra-packaging-tools.html
In the section 12.1.1. Using VIM spec plugins to improve spec file editing

The line that says, "Download the spec.vim syntax file for VIM from
http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/vim/syntax/spec.vim."

should change to 
http://www.panix.com/~elflord/vim/syntax/spec.vim

as it looks like Donovan Rebbechi is now publishing the file from there.

This guide is being resurrected.  Reassigned all tickets to developer.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2010-05-13 01:21:01 UTC

Comment 1 split into a new bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591753).  It is an easy fix, whereas the original report will require some research and/or re-working of the section.  From my perspective, it seems sensible to handle them separately.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2012-07-30 15:32:47 UTC

Changed the specified link to one that exists (may or may not be the same content, but it's a similar tool). Added links to URLs in section 25.1.4. Further addition of links will occur as I go through the guide to clean up the content.

Passing to Docs QA for verification.

commit 02a91a35b2ccb188e0c774a4977afb09d64b973c should take care of this. I see you're working on other URLs, but there's no reason to hold this open categorically.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2012-07-30 19:28:51 UTC

Updated version is on the web. I'll close this bug and continue to work on updating the guide as time allows.
