The rfcshow program searches and displays Requests For Comment (rfc) documents in text format, either as plain text files or compressed with any of bzip2, gzip or lzma. On the way: * documents in pdf/ps/html formats. * download and compression of documents not already fetched. * update locally stored documents to match available documents. * support for bcp/fyi/std documents. I (brickviking) am providing the hosting and initial concepts, and some code, Zero_Dogg is providing other code, and lots of his experience. At the moment, the instructions are really really simple: * Install the following programs: + ncftp3, wget or curl. expect is an idea, but not mandatory. + some compression program such as gzip, lzma, or another single-file compression program. Not Zip/7z/RAR etc etc... * Install the lzma package (or compile/install it) - this program uses the binary program called unlzma from the package. * Create a directory to store rfc documents in - several ideas are: + /usr/share/doc/rfc + /usr/local/share/doc/rfc + $HOME/rfcs + $HOME/rfcshow N.B. Debian also stores RFCs in subdirectories, I'm not aware of how the mapping is done, nor even if it's up to date. * make the rfcshow script executable. (chmod +x rfcshow) * execute it. * Install it in a directory, if necessary.
