Bug#859290: live-build documentation URL is cybersquatting site
Package: live-build
Version: 1:20170213
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I installed live-build, ran `man live-build` and read this under description:
More documentation about how to use live-build is available
in the individual manpages for each helper and in the manual
at <http://live-systems.org/manual/>.
That URL, rather than offering any documentation, instead redirects to a
cybersquatting site offering the domain for sale.
<sarcasm>
Despite the amazing offer of a mere $319 to obtain this premium domain from
such a generous internet patron who didn't want to see the domain become
unregistered, I declined the amazing offer and only hope someone with greater
means can compensate this valiant company for its efforts at "finding solutions
for ... important needs in the Domain aftermarket" [to quote from the seller's
"about us" page].
</sarcasm>
I got the HTML documentation locally with the live-manual-html package, but it
would be nice to update the URL.
The information `reportbug` presents when filing a bug against the package also
references the same URL.
