STR:
Firefox ESR build with MAI locale redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/mn/firefox/channel/ from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/  instead of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/fx/ or https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/

Ditto with /ak/, looks like:

ak on dev goes to https://www-dev.allizom.org/ak/firefox/channel/ and on stage and prod goes to https://www.{allizom, mozilla}.org/ak/firefox/new/.
We have to get dev, stage and prod in sync.

Comment 3

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Interesting. It is going to https://www.mozilla.org/mn/firefox/fx/, but then redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/mn/firefox/channel/. Not sure why yet. Investigating.

Comment 4

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

So this appears to be because /*/firefox/fx/ is not on bedrock for non en-US locales. Then "mn" in particular has a redirect in /mn/firefox/index.html to /mn/firefox/channel/. I'm not sure how exactly this is being triggered from /fx/, but there is no fx file in the /mn/ folder. I think if we change the redirect there however that this will work as we want.

(Kohei might be able to help out, here.)

Comment 6

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Those files have a redirect to /{locale}/firefox/channel/:

http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/ak/firefox/index.html
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/csb/firefox/index.html
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/lij/firefox/index.html
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/mai/firefox/index.html
http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/mn/firefox/index.html

And rewrite rules are defined at http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/.htaccess?limit_changes=0&view=markup#l414

(How) Can this help us fix this testability issue on dev/master/trunk?

* ak and mai: those locales don't have the channel pages on prod; we can just remove the channel redirects.

* csb and lij: the channel redirects can be removed as those are only for older versions.

* mn is the only locale that the channel redirect is in effect on prod, but the locale seems inactive. I think we can remove the redirect and use en-US as a fallback to for now.

The bottom line is, we can remove all the /{locale}/firefox/channel/ redirects from those locales.

Pmac what do you think about comment #9

Comment 11

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Sounds good to me, but perhaps :pascalc would know best?

Comment 12

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

ak and mai do have the channel page on prod:
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/tags/production/ak/firefox/channel/
http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/tags/production/mai/firefox/channel/
but ak and mai locales are not activated on production per lack of contributors to maintain them.

The csb and lij redirects for older versions in code can be removed but note that it doesn't affect esr builds at all.

We don't have a mn localizer anymore and we stopped producing release builds, I think we can fallback to en-US for now.

What's the actionable item(s) here, for both/either:

a) dev
b) web qa?

I would love to get this fixed; thanks!

Comment 14

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

So can we remove all those redirects?

Comment 15

[Mike Alexis [:malexis]]

Is this bug still valid after RNA launch?

Comment 16

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

Good questions. This one seems to have languished. Still a problem?

Comment 17

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

Mass-removing myself from cc; search for 12b9dfe4-ece3-40dc-8d23-60e179f64ac1 or any reasonable part thereof, to mass-delete these notifications (and sorry!)
