Where is the 1.0 spec?

[edsu]

Congrats on RFC 8493! Is the plan to put the lastest spec test in this repository or over at https://github.com/libraryofcongress/bagit-spec ?

[jkunze]

Dunno. That seems like a reasonable plan. The latest polished version wasn't under our control, actually, and is purported to be at https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc8493.xml .

[jkunze]

Oops. That link's now broken. I've sent an email to the RFC-editor asking where we can find it.

[edsu]

I was thinking this GitHub repository would still be useful to use for people who have implementation questions about the specification. Having a current version of the spec in here would be handy for that? Or were you thinking another communication channel would work better?

[acdha]

I think we should update this so we can start on the 2.0 .bagit version

[edsu]

If it works better for all concerned to have the repo live at @LibraryOfCongress that would be fine too. I would just like to see development happening on Github as much as possible, since I know there are people who would like to join the conversation about how to implement 1.0 and also help work on enhancements. GitHub still seems like a good place for this to happen?

[jkunze]

@acdha I think you should now have the latest XML file in your email. I suppose it should be reconciled with the last few tweaks that RFC Editor made to the TXT file that didn't make it into the XML file.

I believe related to this issue; should the purl link -- http://purl.org/net/bagit -- point to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8493, instead of https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kunze-bagit-17?

[jkunze]

I don't see why not. (I didn't know there was such a purl)

[acdha]

As of LibraryOfCongress@753a54d the XML file as received from the IETF is now in the master branch of the Library of Congress repository.

[edsu]

Great, so I guess that's where discussion should happen? Can the LC repository be made into the master repo?
