Sorry for asking, but...
We package the HOWTOs here, at Conectiva.
We use the versions available at LDP at the time we're creating the
package.
Rsync is a reliable tool to check for new versions of documents.
Also, what is causing you problems to create your own set of packages
with a different name? Tar preserves information such as UID/GID and
date. You can use it directly from the LDP tarball.
On the other hand, I agree with you that some versioning scheme would
be good. BUT, IIRC, this tarball is generated often, so it should
always be trusted as "the latest version". If it is so, there's no
need for versioning or inserting the date it was generated. Simply
download and use it.
