Subject: 27.0.91; Remove obsolete reference to the Emacs Lisp List?
Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2020 09:48:46 +0200

C-h C-e shows an info page explaining how to find extra packages.

This page contains a reference to the Emacs Lisp List:
https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/sje30/emacs/ell.html

The list has not been updated since 2014 and many links are broken.

See these 6 broken links among the 7 first entries:

http://www.davep.org/emacs/5x5.el
http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/comp-e.html
http://www.geocities.com/mkjunker/stuff.html#emacs
http://sites.ugcs.caltech.edu/~shulman/pub/Main/Software/abc-mode.el
http://compbio.uchsc.edu/Hunter/acldoc.el

I simply suggest to remove this link from the Emacs manual and to add
it to emacswiki, if needed.

That command shows a section on our FAQ, so the FAQ needs to be fixed.

there cannot be guaranteed.  Why not simply fix our FAQ to be more
up-to-date?

Thanks.

How about just removing the reference, like in the attached patch?

Best regards,
