I just released man-pages-2.59 and man-pages-2.60.

These releases are now available for download at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages

There is one little problem with this: there is no stable URL for a given version. This hurts, e.g., automated Linux From Scratch rebuilds (the official script grabs the URL from the book, but it becomes invalid too soon).

Could you please, in order to avoid this, do what SAMBA team does: place into http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/Old not only old versions, but also the current version? This way, LFS will be sure that the 2.60 version is always available as http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/manpages/Old/man-pages-2.60.tar.bz2 (even if it is in fact the latest version).

Thanks in advance.
