Package: ftp.debian.org Version: Reported July 8th 2004 Priority: normal Currently all the debian-guide packages provided in Debian are obsolete an undermaintained. The main source, debian-guide, has not had updated content since june 1999 (when it was initially released) which makes it apply only to potato. We already have the "Installation Manual" (there is a woody version and an updated version for sarge is on the works), the "Debian User Manual" (applies to woody) and the "Debian reference" [1]. I don't believe we should provide this guide as it is currently. If there are contents which are not available elsewhere they should be merged with already existing manuals. Also these guides cannot shake its RC bugs (#229425, #253659, #221331) which spur from its latex2html dependency (#221329, #140549, #221330 and #229429). Regards Javier [0] Available at http://www.nl.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/users-guide.en.html (currently not packaged) and http://www.nl.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/reference.en.html (currently packages in the debian-reference package)
