Rich Bowen <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |WONTFIX Status|NEW |RESOLVED --- Comment #1 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Philippe Cloutier from comment #0) > The Apache HTTP Server 2.4.68 Released page starts with: > > The Apache Software Foundation and the Apache HTTP Server Project are > > pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.68 of the Apache HTTP Server > > ("Apache"). > “announce” labels a link to > https://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.4.html. Following the link > is confusing, as it brings to the same page. Yes, however, this file may appear in many other contexts, including in third-party distributions, and downloaded as part of the release package itself, and is also sent in the announce emails which are sent to the announce list, and to the users list. > > It does not look like the link target is wrong. It just seems the link is > superfluous; the document is already the announcement page. The link is there in case there are later updates to the document (such as, for example, any inspired by this bz ticket!) so that any distributed copies of the file still reference the original, authoritative document. > > By the way, “Please see the CHANGES_2.4 file, linked from the download page” > is also strange, as “CHANGES_2.4” is already a link. See above. Same reason. The CHANGES_2.4 document gets updated with some regularity - ie, with each release - and so someone with a copy of this file can, at later dates, link back to the authoritative version. So, to summarize, this is correct behavior, since this file/document/text will appear in multiple formats and places, not *just* on this specific website. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
