Re: [Tools-discuss] bibxml3 database reload frequency

[Kent Watsen <[e-mail]>]

Hi Henrik and Carsten - thanks for the responses!

It worked, and then it didn’t.  Too late for me now, but you should know, I think datatracker's cache may need to be cleared befor each run...

Below for details.

My adventure:

I first updated my XML, e.g.: 

	<xi:include href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/bibxml3/reference.I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types.xml”/>

But my locally compiled drafts continued to load the *previous* version (-17) of the crypto-types draft (though I submitted -18 a few hours ago).

So I ran `xml2rfc —clear-cache`, after which the current (-18) revision showed.  Yeah!

Thinking that I conquered it, I submitted the dependent drafts, but looking at the uploaded documents, I see the previous version again.  For instance, the references section of the just-uploaded -13 of the “trust-anchors” draft shows -17 for the “crypto-types” draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-trust-anchors-13#ref-I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-netconf-trust-anchors-13#ref-I-D.ietf-netconf-crypto-types>

Oh, well, can’t win them all.

K.
