The default page for "fedora download" on google (http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF8&q=fedora+download) is http://fedora.redhat.com/download/ which is the FC4 version. Probably that should be replaced with a redirect to http://fedora.redhat.com/Download/ If not, at least there should be a link forward to the new version. Maybe the new page should also maybe have a link to old versions?? At the same time the Xen documentation has similar problems. The old page http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/virtualization/ and google http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF8&q=xen+fedora+core link to the fedora core 4 quick start page. http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstart whilst there is a new one http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 probably there should be links to both from each place.
Some more "old" websites that need redirects: http://fedora.redhat.com/about/ http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/ http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/ http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/communicate/ the new ones are http://fedora.redhat.com/About/ http://fedora.redhat.com/Contribute/ There are probably more -- someomne should run find and grep on the server to look out for other old stuff taht's still around
Okay, web-members, I know that many of you have been looking for ways to contribute. This is your chance. Each of the old pages needs a redirect similar to: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/ This follows a basic PHP template. We do not have the option of using automatic redirects, so this is our best option. Following the Websites CVS instructions: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/CVS ...you can perform an anonymous checkout, create the redirects, produce a patch. and attach the patch to this bug. If you choose to tackle this or if you need help, follow up on this bug report.
Created attachment 138396 [details] Patch that fixes redirections Updated 36 files. If there was a corresponding wiki page, the redirection leads there instead of the f.r.c page. The following files were updated but still point to f.r.c pages because respective wiki pages don't exist: * web/html/projects/desktop/index.php * web/html/projects/virtualization/index.php * web/html/projects/virtualization/index.php * web/html/participate/translation-faq/index.php * web/html/download/up2date-mirrors/index.php * web/html/download/mirrors/index.php The following files were left unchanged and still don't redirect anywhere: * web/html/projects/cluster * web/html/projects/config-tools * web/html/projects/qa
I'm happy to apply this patch, but I do not have a working sandbox to test it in. Can anyone confirm the patch works as expected? We can also just apply it, see what breaks, and fix it as we go. If Dimitris wants to coordinate that with me (he and I doing the breaking and fixing), that would be fine, too. I mean, whatever we do will be *less* broken than it is currently, right?
Karsten, I'm OK with applying and fixing. I'll spend 3 minutes visiting the webpages and checking if they work.
OK, I'll apply the patch right now and commit. It should go live at 17:45 UTC. I'll check back in to see if you have any fixes that need to be applied. We should just get you access, but you need to apply for 'cvsfedora' group and I don't have administration control of that group. So, for now, I'll apply your patches for you. :)
Created attachment 138463 [details] Patch 2 that makes 2 links of previous one better Checked all the links, they are fine. Just 2 minor changes in the second patch, could you please commit these too?
Dimitris now has CVS writing privileges for fedora/web/.
OK, I applied the patch. Please back up your local checkout, then confirm that everything now matches. I had some files with sticky tags that I didn't realize were in place, so I'm not sure the first patch applied cleanly, although it said it did. I worked from a fresh checkout for the second patch, and that finally worked OK (hunks failed on first attempt with files with sticky tags). thx - Karsten
At a glance, it all looks right to me. Dimitris, please take a minute to look and make sure everything is good. If so, you can close this bug.
Everything seems OK. Thanks Karsten and Patrick. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the privileges to close the bug.
Great, thanks for the resolution.
