IETF RFCs

[jbenet]

All RFCs! \o/

[eminence]

As a start, I've copied the .txt versions of all RFCs here:

QmNdozNckkKUAC2YfTLDMyASRsF8bKpyYgZrBR1Syiv2XK

Using this hacky python script: QmWg26A8LRR7tvHkKXRM7r9ZVPgAACudd5qs2LobjbtWaH

Edit: See below for more recent versions of this archive

@eminence Awesome, thankyou. Pinning now :)

[rht]

There is ftp link updated weekly here https://www.rfc-editor.org/download.html, which can be updated with rsync.

[davidar]

@rht yeah, we need an ipfs-rsync tool that can automate the update process, i.e.

$ ipfs-rsync ftp.rfc-editor.org::rfcs-text-only <old-hash>
Updated X files using Y MB.
Added to <new-hash>

Edit: wouldn't it be cool if there was a language where that ^ was actually the program :)

[rht]

(That intersects with gx, dag versioning(, dat?))

[eminence]

Thanks for the pointer about the download bundle. I was foolish and didn't even bother to look for it last night.

The download bundle includes .pdf and .ps versions, which I've now included. The new root is QmeZnaoktRvs3Ek8pQNyj8BbrkKuJ5Ez6JHi32dazL7cEJ

At this point, I'm not sure what the best way to mark the previous hash as obsolete (other than editing my github comment, which I've done)

[jbenet]

@eminence this is great!

[ion1]

Here’s a command that replicates the same directory structure:

% rsync -Pav --delete -f '+ /rfc-index.txt' -f '+ /rfc[0-9]*' -f '- *' ftp.rfc-editor.org::rfcs/ rfcs/ && ipfs add -r rfcs 
…
added Qmew9eTZSvPPJVZcv9WLdH7VJ9nKe4QVxxsi4iSLXNhkrq rfcs

(They have added three new RFCs since the previous pointer.)

[eminence]

Thanks @ion for that useful rsync command. I've updated the RFC directory, and have published it under my peer name. I will endeavor to keep it up-to-date.

The new location for these is now the follow IPNS URL (which should remain unchanged as this folder is updated)

http://ipfs.io/ipns/QmbuG3dYjX5KjfAMaFQEPrRmTRkJupNUGRn1DXCgKK5ogD/archives/RFCs

[jbenet]

nice! we're in the middle of fixing ipns so you can have more keys, too

related to #5

[eminence]

Here's a simple front-end to the RFC archive

[ghost]

This is pretty cool! I thought there'd be no RFCs though, until I used the search :)

[rht]

It appears that the copyright license for the RFCs since nov 10 2008 is spec-ed in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5378.

edit: the hash on the archives.ipfs.io website (QmTZeE4yTiDd76YxbWvenneqSf5VhooNnA46WWWHtHcu5n) is now available again thanks to eminence. That's now the one I've pinned to my main ipfs node.

original post: The hash on archives.ipfs.io seems to have become unavailable (QmTZeE4yTiDd76YxbWvenneqSf5VhooNnA46WWWHtHcu5n). I'm not sure how it was created, so I re-ran the creation script that ion1 posted earlier in this thread and pinned it to my node (~~QmZHbZahTjnPTNXJaNnaVw5KusGuCL1EbbGp7qM4AxP4hG~~).

It doesn't fix the hash on the archives site, but now almost all of the files in QmeZnaoktRvs3Ek8pQNyj8BbrkKuJ5Ez6JHi32dazL7cEJ (posted by eminence) are available again; all except for the rfc-index.txt file.

[eminence]

Sorry about that. my ipfs node had been offline for a few months due to hardware issues (which have now been fixed), but tonight i ran into troubles getting my ipfs daemon running (repo migration errors). i'll continue to try to get it running again

[whyrusleeping]

@eminence We talked on IRC, but did you file an issue somewhere about that? I very much want to figure out the problem you were having

[eminence]

Sorry for the delay. All issues are now resolved, and this archive is back online.
