Script to synchronize and index local mirror of RFCs
Project description
This package contains script to mirror RFC index and full text to local directory, and to create a full text search based on whoosh module to search the contents of RFCs.
Configuration
The code reads two different configuration paths, home directory configuration overriding the system wide configuration:
/etc/rfcmirror.conf $HOME/.rfcmirror.conf
The configuration file can contain following settings:
pager = Pager program used to read RFC, defaults to more cachedir = Path to local RFC cache, defaults to /var/db/rfc index_url = URL to RFC index, default http://www.ietf.org/download/rfc-index.txt index_name = RFC index filename, default rfc-index.txt rfc_base_url = Base download URL for RFC downloads, default ttp://www.ietf.org/rfc/ skipped = Defaults to RFCs to skip, default 8,9,51,418,530,598
Usually it’s enough to simply add cachedir if you want to run the program with files in your home directory.
Commands
rfc-cache-update -uv - Imports and parses the rfc-index.txt - Downloads any missing and not skipped RFC texts - Updates whoosh cache with the contents of the rfc
rfc <number> - Shows RFC with given number
rfc <text> - Shows RFCs matching the text in rfc description rfc -b <text> - Shows RFCs matching the text in rfc description and body
