> - Should we update those links? For the manual pages, that seems clear: if some document is worth linking to (which i assume it is unless told otherwise, if a link is currently present in a manual page), then we should provide the best possible form of the link. I did not touch source code files, i'll leave the decision whether it is desirable to change those files and whether it is worth the effort to the developers working on the code. > - Should we only refer to the document name/version and people can go an > search on whatever document library will be available in the future? If a site is stupid enough to keep changing their URIs again and again, maintenance might become annoying enough that we could just stop linking to that site, but i felt no urgent need to go that far just yet. > For the couple missing I can try to contact them. If you contact them, please also remind them that changiung URIs is a terrible idea, particularly for documentation and standards that other documentation may need to link to. > (Otherwise there's mirror available if that's acceptable). I prefer linking from authoritative documentation (including manual pages) to other authoritative documentation (including official upstream websites), but if those official upstream websites are unusable for some reason (like lack of stable URIs), linking to other trustworthy sources may in some cases be a viable alternative. It's a matter of judgement in each individual case what is most helpful for users without causing excessive pain for maintenance. For now, i committed the following minimal patch. Note that i preferred linking to HTML pages over directly linking to ZIP files, even if the main content of the HTML page is a link to the ZIP file. The links in the header and footer of the HTML page may occasionally help users, too. OpenBSD USB developers: please feel free to tweak further in whichever way you consider useful.
