Re: [RAI] I-D's of former Sipping/Sip WG's



If someone wants to form a list of the new draft names, and the old draft names i.e.

draft-smith-dispatch-good-idea-00 replaces draft-smith-spipping- good-idea-05

I can try to get that information added to the idtracker but I would rather do it in a batch of a bunch of drafts at once and not deal with each draft one at a time.

If you notice, it does pick up some transitions, e.g. if draft-smith- sipping... became draft-ietf-sipping...

I believe this is based on the information in the draft tracker database, which is administered by the IESG secretary, and this information is manually input by them.

Subject: [RAI] I-D's of former Sipping/Sip WG's

Howdy,
I have a question with the mechanics of the closing of the
SIPPING/SIP WG's and mailing lists, with regards to
Individual Drafts (I-D's).  Some of us have I-D's we
submitted to the previous WG's before the transition, which
we'd like to update.  For example a fictitious I-D like
draft-smith-spipping-good-idea-05.  If Mr. Smith updates them
to the appropriate new WG's using the new WG names and new
number space (.e.g, draft-smith-dispatch-good-idea-00), won't
he lose the automatic links in the tools HTML view of the
previous drafts?

That linking was a rather nice feature, both because it
allowed one to create a fixed HTTP URL which one could give
others which would auto-update to the latest rev, and because
it allowed one to view diffs and such easily.  So now Mr.
Smith would have to change the URL he'd been giving folks for
some time, and it would lose the history.

Is there a way to avoid this? (and no, I'm not asking to port
all I-D's from the closed groups)

If this is a major pain in the #$%*&, like it requires tools
changes, then forget it.  Just more wondering if something
already exists which lets me^H^H Mr.Smith submit a revved
draft without the break.
