Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The source code README link is dead:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.1b3/README

In fact all links pointing below http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/2.1b3/ are affected since only 2.1b3-real exists. The following is used (example): [% INCLUDE download_file path='README' %]

IOW, broken are:
- Source Code Tarball and README
- all language packs
- everything under "Contributed builds (other platforms)"

Callek, any chance of getting a symlink from 2.1b3 to 2.1b3-real or something like that? Otherwise I'd have to hard-code the 2.1b3 page links since I don't want to mess with release.tmpl. That would have the downside that we'd have to manually switch to non-mirrored when the time comes.

Well I *can* symlink, but it probably wouldn't propogate to mirrors.

So best in the end is to hard-code the in-page links. [sorry that I missed this question]

Checking in 2.1b3.en.html;
/www/seamonkeyproject-org/src/releases/2.1b3.en.html,v  <--  2.1b3.en.html
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done

*ALL* links, including those to official (non-contributed) builds, will need to be adapted *manually* once 2.1b3 is pulled off the mirrors.

grrrrrrrr, couldn't you at least *try* the symlink? My experience was that mirrors are working better than we "expect" them to.
