407820 - create temporary firstrun, whatsnew and releasenote pages for Firefox 3 Beta 2 Release Candidate

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Goal is to have a page so that people who do grab the RC are told that's what they got, as well as to allow QA to see that those pages are loading properly. Basically replicating the same sort of thing that we do with the dot-dot releases.

SVN updates coming.

Created temporary firstrun and release notes pages for the beta candidates:

  Adding: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc  
  Adding: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc\firstrun  
  Adding: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc\firstrun\index.html  
  Adding: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc\releasenotes  
  Adding: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc\releasenotes\index.html  
  Sending content: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc\firstrun\index.html  
  Sending content: \en-US\firefox\3.0b2rc\releasenotes\index.html  
  Completed: At revision: 8661  

now appearing on staging server at:
https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b2rc/firstrun/
https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0b2rc/releasenotes/

Created temporary redirect to the 3.0b2rc directory:

# Redirect whatsnew to firstrun for Firefox 3 betas
RewriteRule ^(\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?firefox/3.0b(\d)/whatsnew[/]?$ $1firefox/3.0b$2/firstrun/ [PT]

  Modified: \.htaccess  
  Sending content: \.htaccess  
  Completed: At revision: 8662  

^ not sure if this part worked, would appreciate any help.

Assuming that redirect works, I'll need some help with the tagging part of this. :)

Wil/Mike: can you lend a hand getting these pages up sometime? Not super-urgent, but it would be nice to have it for people who try out the RCs.

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

I'll take it, it's a good candidate for a kubla test tomorrow.

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Updated the redirect so that it, you know, works :)
