<para>Stein Gjoen silently hacks away at tools that are useful for The
|
|
LDP. Where there may not be a lot of buzz about the same, much of
|
|
Stein's TLDP work is located at his home page <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/tarpl.html" />. Stein indicated that
|
|
the web correlator script is now on line and (somewhat) documented, but
|
|
not very user friendly. The program is about 150 lines of AWK script,
|
|
takes in apache logs and creates a HTML report. These reports can be
|
|
huge both in terms of size on paper as well as number of bytes. Sample
|
|
is about 180 KB. </para>

<para>HOWTOs in Debian Sarge</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now that Debian has entered freeze and is on the verge of release,
|
|
Stein Gjoen was wondering which documents from TLDP will be included and
|
|
how recent these are. Rick Moen replied pointing Stein to <ulink
|
|
url="http://packages.debian.org/testing/doc/doc-linux-text" />, <ulink
|
|
url="http://packages.debian.org/testing/doc/doc-linux-html" /> and
|
|
<ulink url="http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/doc-linux.html" />. Frank
|
|
Lichtenheld, the Debian package maintainer for the HOWTOs added that he
|
|
doesn't plan any further updates until the release since only a few
|
|
HOWTOs have been changed since the last one, but that can change if the
|
|
release gets delayed or there are many HOWTO updates in the next few
|
|
days. Andrew M.A. Cater on the thread indicated the non-free status of
|
|
GNU Free Documentation License for Debian. </para>
