840416 - Redirect www.mozilla.org/add-ons/kodakcd to AMO

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris More [:cmore]]

One of top 404 on Mozilla.org is pointing to:

www.mozilla.org/add-ons/kodakcd

In the .htaccess file on line 239, there is a kodak redirect.

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/.htaccess?view=markup

Can we change the redirect to something like this?

RewriteRule ^en-US/add-ons/kodak.*$ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4441 [R=permanent]

That should match kodak|kodak/|kodakcd|kodakcd/ or really anything after kodak. If this doesn't make sense, we should just do a new redirect for kodakcd to the homepage of addons.mozilla.org.

:pmac / :sancus Do you have any thoughts on this redirect?

Comment 2

The page was removed by Bug 634320 without setting up any redirect. According to the SVN changelog, it was the CD distro version of the Kodak EasyShare Gallery Companion landing page.

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/en-US/add-ons/kodakcd/index.html?view=log&pathrev=87450

Because the content was mostly the same as the non-CD version, it makes sense to add the redirect, IMO.

Sounds good to me. On it.

Attachment: Proposed fix

If this is really only for en-US, then I think this is good.

Comment 5

[Chris More [:cmore]]

That looks fine to me. Yes, it is only en-US and there are many variations after the string "kodak" and thus your regex will match the rest fine.
