User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.101 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Visit the popcornjs.org downloads page (http://popcornjs.org/download) and click on the link (http://mozillapopcorn.org/build-tool) "to create a customized Popcorn.js with select plugins."

Note that this bug has also been listed as an issue on the Mozilla popcorn-js github repository page for over 3 months - https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-js/issues/337


Actual results:

The link directs to a 404 error page.


Expected results:

The link should direct to a page where a user can create a customized build of Popcorn.

I personally want to remove the reference to the build tool, and no longer support it.

I am however curious in the site's structure, and why the build tool disapeared.

The build tool was living on http://mozillapopcorn.org but it seems that is just a redirect now.

If it is just a matter of updating a link, and the build tool still works, we should just do it, otherwise, it might not be worth it and we should remove the link.

I am currently looking for a repo or some other location where the build tool is.

This is apparently where it lives now: https://github.com/cadecairos/popcornjs.org-2/blob/master/buildtool.js

That was a backup when the original repo got nuked, to save anything we might need again.

This was a prototype for the next version that got dropped: http://js-builder.chrisdecairos.ca/
