<h2><a name="other">Problematic manuals</a></h2>
<p>In addition to the normally advertized manuals, we maintain the following
manuals that
are problematic in one way or another, so we can't recommend them to all
users. Caveat emptor.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="obsolete#tutorial">Debian Tutorial</a>, obsolete</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#guide">Debian Guide</a>, obsolete</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#userref">Debian User Reference Manual</a>,
stalled and quite incomplete</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#system">Debian System Administrator's
Manual</a>, stalled, almost empty</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#network">Debian Network Administrator's
Manual</a>, stalled, incomplete</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#swprod">How Software Producers can distribute
their products directly in .deb format</a>, stalled, outdated</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#packman">Debian Packaging Manual</a>, partly
merged in <a href="devel-manuals#policy">Debian Policy Manual</a>,
the rest will be included in a dpkg reference manual that is yet to be
written</li>
<li><a href="obsolete#makeadeb">Introduction: Making a Debian
Package</a>, obsoleted by
<a href="devel-manuals#maint-guide">Debian New Maintainers' Guide</a></li>
<li><a href="obsolete#programmers">Debian Programmers' Manual</a>,
obsoleted by

and
<a href="devel-manuals#debmake-doc">Guide for Debian Maintainers</a></li>
<li><a href="obsolete#repo">Debian Repository HOWTO</a>, outdated after introduction of secure APT</li>
