# Pandoc2rfc and xml2rfc



Thanks to the help of Marc Petit-Huguenin I have been able to create (and upload)
debian packages (install fine on Ubuntu) for Pandoc2rfc and xml2rfc. For Pandoc2rfc
I choose to add a little shell script that calls pandoc and xml2rfc for you. So
creating an I-D is as simple as:

    pandoc2rfc *.mkd    # or a few other extensions

The shell script depends on `transform.xsl` to be installed in `/usr/lib/pandoc2rfc/`,
allthough this can be overridden with a flag. When pandoc2rfc is installed you don't
have carry the supports scripts inside your I-D's source repo. My pandoc2rfc I-D
source directory now only has: `template.xml`, `abstract.pdc`,  `back.pdc`, `middle.pdc` and a
`bib/` directory with references.

# Debian packages

As said there are now debian packages, see below on the setup. If you are
finished you can install the pandoc2rfc and xml2rfc combo with:

    sudo apt-get install python-xml2rfc pandoc2rfc

I'm still learning this create-deb-and-upload stuff, so some breakage might be
expected....

With the help of Marc Petit-Huguenin
I have access to a debian infra structure over at pandoc2rfc.implementers.org

Here's what you should probably put in your: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pandoc2rfc.list:

    deb http://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ testing/$(ARCH)/
    deb http://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ testing/all/
    deb http://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ stable/$(ARCH)/
    deb http://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ stable/all/
    deb-src http://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ testing/source/
    deb-src http://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ stable/source/

Note that if the apt-transport-https package is installed then I recommend to
use https instead:

    deb https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ testing/$(ARCH)/
    deb https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ testing/all/
    deb https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ stable/$(ARCH)/
    deb https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ stable/all/
    deb-src https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ testing/source/
    deb-src https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/ stable/source/

All the packages are automatically signed, you can install the public key
like this:

    wget https://pandoc2rfc.implementers.org/config/key.asc
    sudo apt-key add key.asc

The fingerprint of the key is as follow:
