Currently there is a number of out of date documents being distributed in the sid/sarge distribution which might not make sense to distribute anymore: - debian-guide, which currently has a RC: #229425 and #255602. Also see #212198, and its translations such as: - debian-guide-es, which currently has a similar bug, although not RC: #253659 - debian-guide-zh, with a RC: #221331 The contents from the Debian guide have not been updated since potato (1999) and some of them have been integrated into the debian-reference. Should we just ask for the removal of all of this packages? Does it make sense to keep them around? I believe that the doc-debian package (and assorted translations) is suffering from similar outdateness although much of its content is still valid. Maybe it needs a new maintainer that is capable of integrating all the FAQ content into the DDP CVS. Currently only the English, Russian, Italian, Portuguese and Polish versions are there but the Spanish, Japanese and Korean are not. Moreover, there are no packages being generated with the translations available in the CVS. Also, notice that some of the documents are extracted from the website (and are translated there) but those translations are not made available in the package. Josip is probably unable to keep up with this package, maybe a co-maintainer would be helpful here? Any volunteers? Regards Javier
