286156 - Broken links on Building Camino page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Torben]

The instructions for setting up the CVS environment refers to
<http://www.mozilla.org/build/mac.html#Building_Mozilla>, however, the 
"Building Mozilla" part is missing at this address. Since this instruction only
is a few lines, I sugest adding it directly to the Camino page. I will attach a
patch in a few minutes.

Attachment: Sugested changes

This outlines the steps I used, however, this is the first time I have used cvs
so errors are possible. Please review carefully.

Should http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/ChimChim.html not redirect to the
new page at http://www.caminobrowser.org/development/dev_build.html ?

It should, but this bug seems to be about http://www.mozilla.org/build/mac.html
.  The URL above may have been set incorrectly?

Nope, it refers to this paragraph of the (correctly) given URL:

1. Set up your CVS environment, as described in steps 1-2 on the Mac build page.

which contains a non-existing link. And, as stated in comment 0:

 Since this instruction only
 is a few lines, I sugest adding it directly to the Camino page

Making the old camino page redirecting to the new one (bug 300713, which IMHO is
the best thing to do) would fix this bug too.

(However, the information on how to set up the CVS environment should probably
also be added to the building mozilla/firefox page, if there isn't already a bug
for it someone should create one...)

So, build/mac.html no longer exists.  It redirects to DevMo's Mac build docs, which also doesn't have the CVS stuff (but there is a separate page, sort-a linked from DevMo's Mac build docs, that covers generic Mozilla CVS).

Frankly, at this point I think we (Mike :-)) really just need to do comment 2/bug 300713.

Torben, since this now redirects, are the instructions on caminobrowser.org correct and complete? If so, this bug is fixed.

AFAICT, yes.
