This does almost exactly what we want although I was hoping to avoid type-maps. One thing I'd prefer is if the server could be convinced to use the type-map even if foo.html exists. That way, all mirrors could use ftp or rsync to mirror the pages. Servers not using CN would simply serve foo.html (really foo.en.html) - exactly what we want. Users could still access the other pages by the links at the bottom.
Mirroring the human written pages by wget is acceptable, but wget isn't very inefficient so it is not a good idea to use it on the rest of the archive (Packages, Lists-Archives and Bugs). Also, I don't like the idea of forcing anyone not using CN to mirror using wget. There are some people who feel content negotiation should be used for every page (I'm not sure why. Once CN has you using your preferred language, what difference does it make). I'd like their comments on this scheme (repeated below). BTW, apache behaves strangely if foo.html exists under this arrangement. If it is a file, it is served (as the doc says). If it is a link, you get '403 Forbidden'. If CN is not turned on then the link works fine (as it should). - Jay > # foo.html.var > URI: foo.en.html > Content-type: text/html > Content-language: en > > URI: foo.de.html > Content-type: text/html > Content-language: de > > # bar.html.var > URI: bar.en.html > Content-type: text/html > Content-language: en > > URI: bar.de.html > Content-type: text/html > Content-language: de > > # bar.de.html > <title>German</title><a href="foo.de.html">foo</a> > <p><a href="bar.html">[auto]</a>[de] > > # bar.en.html > <title>English</title><a href="foo.html">foo</a> > <p>[auto]<a href="bar.de.html">[de]</a> > > # foo.de.html > <title>German</title><a href="bar.de.html">bar</a> > <p><a href="foo.html">[auto]</a>[de] > > # foo.en.html > <title>English</title><a href="bar.html">bar</a> > <p>[auto]<a href="foo.de.html">[de]</a> > -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
