453795 - Set up redirects for broken mozilla-world.org links in localized builds

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

A lot of localized builds of Thunderbird 2.0.0.x point to broken links on www.mozilla-world.org, which IIRC was retired a long time ago. Since these links are broken in builds that are already out at the end-users, it's not enough to fix this in the respective localization. We also need redirects to existing localized content.

Here's a list of the necessary redirects, which need to be set up. CC'ing the relevant localizers to keep them informed.

Catalan:
http://www.mozilla-world.org/ca/products/thunderbird/support --> http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/

Czech:
http://www.mozilla-world.org/cs/products/thunderbird/support --> http://www.czilla.cz/produkty/thunderbird/

Italian:
http://www.mozilla-world.org/it/products/thunderbird/support --> http://www.mozillaitalia.it/thunderbird/

Dutch:
http://www.mozilla-world.org/nl/products/thunderbird/support --> http://www.mozilla-nl.org/ondersteuning/thunderbird

Portuguese (Brazil)
http://www.mozilla-world.org/pt-BR/products/thunderbird/support --> http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/

Slovak:
http://www.mozilla-world.org/sk/products/thunderbird/support --> http://www.mozilla.sk/thunderbird/

Ukrainian:

Done.

Comment 2

[Roberto Principiano]

Does not seem to work.

Comment 3

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Correct, redirect still points erroneously to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

Comment 4

[Dave Miller [:justdave]]

Fixed.  The redirects were missing the 'L' flag to say that they were the final definitive rewrite, so the fallthrough to "redirect everything to mozilla.com" was still firing.  Sorry I missed that the first time around.  Should be live already.

I'm bit late, but could pt-BR be changed to http://br.mozdev.org/thunderbird/central/ ? Thanks.

Mind filing a new bug for that please? Also, will need sipaq's approval for that.

We're very near to setting up our own website story, which will allow localizers to setup a redirect by themselves. 

Until then a=sipaq for the pt-BR team.
