663511 - redirect all old jetpack docs to 1.0 docs

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites :: mozillalabs.com, defect)

Description

[David Mason [:dcm :dmason]]

We need the following docs pages to redirect to the 1.0 version. The 1.0 docs are located: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.0/ 

The old docs locations that need to redirect are:

https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b5/docs/
https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b4/docs/
https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b3/docs/
https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b2/docs/
https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b1/docs/
https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/0.9/docs/
https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/0.8/docs/

I think the idea is that AMO implements a redirect function like that currently implemented by mozillalabs, which redirects:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/

...to the most recent/highest version.

Then those old docs locations redirect to 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/.

But I could be wrong.

I'm not sure how I forgot to mention this - but these redirects should go live the day we ship Firefox 5 (and thus, Jetpack). Currently that date is scheduled as June 21st.

Bug 627467 comment 2 says:
Once the switch happens, you should probably file a bug in the MDN product to update the link on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/addons

I'd like to add that here, as it needs to happen at the same time as these other changes. Then I can close bug 627467 without worrying about us forgetting it.

Redirecting to AMO now. This is bouncing off the existing VM for now. I've filed bug 665877 to move these to virtual-redirect and retire the VM.

https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/latest/docs doesn't redirect -- it's a 404 -- and that's the link I and probably lots of other people use.  Shouldn't it?

Also, if possible, it would be helpful if links to particular pages off the homepage linked to the new location of those pages, rather than the new homepage. 

For example: 

https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/1.0b5/docs/packages/addon-kit/docs/page-mod.html
 
should go to:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/1.0/packages/addon-kit/docs/page-mod.html

Is this ever going to be fixed?  My awesomebar only brings up https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/sdk/latest/docs for Jetpack docs, which still 404s.

you can remove entries from your awesomebar by arrowing down to them and hitting the delete key

I'm aware of that, thanks.
