An uncompressed, complete RFC directory is currently around 80 MB
(still 23 MB gzipped), obviously too much to ship around.
So, I'm building a pseudo source package from those files that come from the
archives (and from the Web) and that actually get included in the binary
package.
This is done by the getst script, which assumes the availability of a mirror
of the RFC archive, a mirror of the rfc-editor directory, and an active net
connection to access the RFC editor's web pages.
Don't be too alarmed when that script can't find a few files. Not all files
mentioned in the various indices are actually available at the FTP archives.
After this script terminates, the package can be built as usual.
Actually, this script selects more types of RFCs than get included; you can
find the unused stuff in a "prune" directory that's parallel to the actual
package directory. Maybe, at some later date, it might make sense to make
additional packages from that stuff.
You may want to execute the "fixperms.sh" script.
