554588 - Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 start page should be on mozillamessaging not mozilla.com

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Thunderbird, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

in bug #553544 the 2.0.0.24 page was put on mozilla.com, it should be on mozillamessaging;com. The side effect is that people with non-english TB fallback to en-US since all these localized pages were migrated to mozillamessaging.com.

things to do:
1/ copy the 2.0.0.23 pages in new 2.0.0.24 folders on mozilla-messaging for all locales
2/ put them in production
3/ update the .htaccess on mozilla.com to add a redirect from moco to mome (last rule was for 2.0.0.23)
4/ remove the 2.0.0.24 TB start folder on mozilla.com

ideally, if there are future versions of 2.0.0.x, the start page url should be updated in the product with a url scheme similar to 3.0.x instead of pointing directly to mozilla.com

I will probably not have time to work on that this week so if somebody in mozillamessaging team can do that, that would be great.

Yeah, too bad we missed that for 2.0.0.24, but good to keep in mind. At least, we could provide moco with a set of redirect rules for, say, 2.0.0.2[4-9], so that we don't have to remember to add rewrite rules for each TB 2.0.0.x releases.

mozilla.com .htaccess patch

>+RewriteRule ^(?:\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?thunderbird/2.0.0.24/start[/]?$ http://www.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/2.0.0.24/start/ [R=permanent]
>+RewriteRule ^(\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?thunderbird/2.0.0.24/releasenotes[/]?$ http://www.mozillamessaging.com/$1thunderbird/2.0.0.24/releasenotes/ [R=permanent]

This works, but I'd much rather see something such as:
RewriteRule ^(?:\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?thunderbird/2.0.0.(2\d)/start[/]?$ http://www.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird/2.0.0.$1/start/ [R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^(\w{2,3}(?:-\w{2}(?:-mac)?)?/)?thunderbird/2.0.0.(2\d)/releasenotes[/]?$ http://www.mozillamessaging.com/$1thunderbird/2.0.0.$2/releasenotes/ [R=permanent]

That would future-proof it for all 2.0.0.20-29 builds and cut the rewrite rules down from 8 to 2. .19 seems to be a weird case (only redirecting for the release notes), so I left that rule alone. However, it would be easy to add it to one of the above rules so that it could be removed as well.

I just backed out some revisions from that - changes to pages that we don't want to go live yet. See r64758 for details.

Mark, there are many en-US/2.0.0.* folders on mozilla.com, could you check if they are all safe to remove now that there is a rewrite rule leading to mozillamessaging?
