Title:
  xclip link to freedesktop clipboard standards is a 404 error

Status in xclip package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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:
    Installed: 0.12+svn84-4
    Candidate: 0.12+svn84-4
    Version table:
   *** 0.12+svn84-4 0

          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04

  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.
