Stamp out broken links	17.12.2000
There are a couple of broken links on the Debian web site. It is not that easy to track them down because one has to find out first what has happened to the link. There is a typo in the url, so where's the proper spelling? The page has been moved, so where's the new page? The page has been expired, so is there another one we can link to? The list of bad urls in the web pages has been updated. It can be found at http://people.debian.org/~treacy/urlcheck. To help the translators, there is a new script which can be used to extract the bad links for a given translation from a file. It can be found at http://people.debian.org/~treacy/urlcheck/scripts/extract_lang.pl Example usage: ./extract_lang.pl es releases/potato One thing that people may find annoying is that the script which checks the links is set to time out after only 15 seconds (otherwise the script takes forever to run). These are all listed in the files, so don't be afraid if a file looks daunting due to its size.
