Well, I think the other editing the file might haven't seen the statement in the header, like I did ;) * Martin Schulze <joey@infodrom.org> [060530 19:06]: > Tolimar informed me that several CD vendors that we list on > <http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/> are not reachable by the links we > provide. A colleague at work told me that. So I checked the german vendors yesterday (there are two with quite outdated, I pinged both, one mail bounced, the other one said they will update their offerings soon). This shows us an important fact: Checking the URLs is not enough (all german vendors had valid URLs), someone needs to check the content of the URLs too (and I think that can't be automated). Guess that would be my job, since I set the ball rolling... If no one else volunteers (or has a good idea on how to automate checking the contents for up-to-dateness), I'll try to do that as my time permits to keep that data in good shape. Might be a good idea, to add a log file, which vendor got pinged by whome, and what their reaction and consequence was.
