Hi list,
This _may be_ slightly off topic here. But as it is very much related to Linux and many of us still consult LDP, I can not resist myself from forwarding this to you. Please see the mail below.
Please help if you have time. The new URL is wiki.tldp.org.
BTW according to jdd , LDP used to be included as RPM in RedHat. If yes, can we include them again if document licences permit?
Thanks. Susmit

Hello,
I see that you work with Fedora.
I have two things to do with Fedora :-)
* do you know if the ldp HOWTOs are included in the fedora rpms? they used to be in red Hat, but the last time I checked was... extremely long time ago :-(
* could you relay to the fedora user's mailing list the need of help for the LDP?
thanks jdd

Not anymore but it might be permitted if someone volunteers to package it again. Be aware that packaging guidelines has some restrictions on the type of content permitted however.

Good, the LDP are moving towards separating the free and non free docs. Once that is done (or a reasonable portion of it is done), I volunteer to take up the packaging. :) Thanks.

I recommend talking to Spot (cc'ed) to confirm that LDP content would be permitted.
