I was looking for the latest release of the 13.2 package "rfc-2011.9.9-44.1.2.noarch.rpm".

Is it under a different name, or is the 13.2 version the latest released version?

software.opensuse.org/search

Thanks, but if it is under a different name, how would I know what to search for? Carlos only found the 2011 version, so its either the latest version, or its under a different name (thus my question). ? -l -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

search for rfc

or search google for package of rfcs

I am sure somewhere there is kept an up-to-date complete package of rfc's

if I was more interested, I would search. it was *your* question.

Thanks, though the point was not how to find the latest rfc's, online, but to find what the latest SUSE, rfc package I could install, locally.

That way I can use my existing 15-line script for local rfc's than enhance it to include optionally download from an online location.

;-)

then you already had it: software.opensuse.org/search

Though that brings up an idea: does anyone know of a user file system that could provide online type access, as in:

...

less /url/http://www.ietf.org/download/rfc998.txt

(or using less with an htm filter):

...

less /url/http://www.ietf.org/download/rfc998.htm

any browser, text mode: w3m links elinks lynx w3m http://www.ietf.org/download/rfc988.{txt,htm} or I have no idea what you mean. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

FWIW, if you create a user-writeable directory, you can use this: ==== /usr/local/bin/rfc ==== #!/bin/bash : ${PAGER:=less} RFCPATH="/usr/local/share/doc/rfc" ### ADJUST THIS RFC="${RFCPATH}/rfc${1}.txt" FOUND=no URL="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/" ugz=( "gzip" "-dc" ) ubz=( "bzip2" "-dc" ) uxz=( "xz" "-dc" ) for ext in "" ".bz2" ".gz" ".xz"; do if test -f "${RFC}${ext}"; then FOUND=yes RFC="${RFC}${ext}" case "$ext" in *.gz) CMD=( "${ugz[@]}" "${RFC}" );; *.bz2) CMD=( "${ubz[@]}" "${RFC}" );; *.xz) CMD=( "${uxz[@]}" "${RFC}" );; *) CMD=( cat "${RFC}" );; esac break; fi done if test "x$FOUND" != "xyes"; then echo "not found. Trying to fetch" >&2; if ! wget -O "${RFC}" "${URL}/rfc${1}.txt"; then exit 1; fi xz -v "${RFC}" CMD=( "${uxz[@]}" "${RFC}${ext}" ) fi "${CMD[@]}" | "${PAGER}" ==== You could also download to tmp and "sudo" to mv it to the rfc-dir or whatnot. Depends on your setup ;) Anyway ... Then just happily use e.g. call 'rfc 1149' from your shell, and over time, you'll get your archive. If you want it now, there's e.g. 'wget -m -np'...
