Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: Bedrock, defect, P3)

Description

[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

Please redirect http://www.mozilla.org/ports/

to

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tinderbox

[Chris More [:cmore]]

We should be able to do this redirect with pmac's new redirect app built into bedrock.

Comment 2

[Dan Poirier [:dpoirier]]

Text at the top of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tinderbox implies that Tinderbox is dead. Should http://www.mozilla.org/ports/ be redirected somewhere else?

[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

Thanks, Dan.

Per conversation with Sancus, let's delete this page instead.  It will still live on the archive and we can resurrect it if another ports project starts up.

Comment 4

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Would be happy to delete the page.

One challenge is that many other files and directories live under the /ports path. For example:

* http://www.mozilla.org/ports/beos/build.html
* http://www.mozilla.org/ports/gtk/todo.html
* Other redirect directives, like in /ports/fizzilla/.htaccess

What should happen with this content? One option is to delete the /ports page itself and redirect the rest of the content to www-archive.

I vote delete the /ports page and redirect the rest to the archive.  Thanks!

PR @ https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/pull/993

So excited to delete these pages from SVN. Something so epic about cleaning out a top-level directory.

Comment 7

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Jennifer, currently we are redirecting /ports/qtmozilla to the Wiki (see bug 543912). Should that redirect remain intact, or should even that redirect to the archive?

Comment 8

[Jennifer Bertsch [:jbertsch]]

Yes please leave that redirect in place.  Thanks!
