deleting binary soft link on ftp sites

1997-06-02 Thread sacampbe
In anticipation of Debian being released (publically)for platforms
other than ix86 it would be a good idea to phase out the use of
the binary -> binary-i386 link on the ftp sites as this could
cause confusion. Is there anything that actually uses this link?

As part of maintaining the web pages, and updating all the vendor
entries, I have been checking out many of the vendors pages.
Shaya is quite correct that we are being portrayed as being inferior
to RH and Slackware on some sites. Considering the number of people switching
away from Slackware, I find this quite annoying.

In addition, I get the feeling that some of the distributors don't take
us as seriously. For example, Linux Systems Labs, the makers of Tri-linux,
don't even sell a Debian-only CD.

We need to have a person who is a liaison between us and the vendors
so they can be approached by a single, responsible person with our
concerns.

Re: Search engine for bug-track

> Why isn't there a glimpse or dig search on the bugtracker list???

I have had httdig set up to index (parts) of the web site for
quite a while. I have chosen to not index the bug tracking yet as 
there seems to be a problem with Roxen that is causing reindexing
to start from scratch every time. Given the size of the bug tracking
(something like 80M) I felt it was a waste of resources. 
A new version of Roxen is supposed to be installed on master soon
and I am hoping this will fix the problem.
