Re: [Tools-discuss] missing links in draft on tools.ietf.org

Hi Dick,

this is a long-standing problem with the (rather ancient) scripts that are being used to generate the htmlized pages, which sometimes hick up when generating cached pages.  Since these scripts are slow, easy recipes for overcoming caching problems, such as “regenerate every day”, don’t seem to work.
Manual intervention seems to be required.  I think we also have no way to automatically find these problems and their extent (I think by now the datatracker should have the necessary HTTP APIs to help in constructing something like this, but I don’t know for sure).

So until there is a general overhaul of this infrastructure, we will continue to see these problems, and we will continue to need to nudge people to do the fixing.

Grüße, Carsten
