xclip link to freedesktop clipboard standards is a 404 error

[Lyn Perrine]

open /usr/share/doc/xclip/README will have a link to http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/clipboards.txt which does not work however there are now two pages at freedesktop.org now that are http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-0.1.txt and http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-latest.txt so maybe both should be listed. This is just link rot as something changed. xclip:

I expected the link in the documentation to work. Instead I got a 404 error and found the pages had been moved slightly on freedesktop.org.

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for reporting this bug. I've opened an issue on the upstream project for this. Please see: https://github.com/milki/xclip/issues/6

Fixed in current Ubuntu releases already.
