Thanks, fixed. I've also removed some very outdated information
(actually the whole section is outdated, Mac OS X is a supported
platform and no longer a port).
When this website and its subpages are outdated and MacOS X is indeed since
a longer time a well-supported and major platform, does it then make sense
to keep these webpages as part of porting?
I doubt this and suggest to delete the complete
"http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/"; stuff.
We need to be careful. This is actually a very popular page with many
3rd party websites linking to it and around 4000 visits/day. It is
also the top link for Google queries like "openoffice for mac".
Hm, I thought that this would be the argument to keep it. ;-)
Yes, 4000 is too high to delete it simply.
So I'd recommend either keeping the page and updating it. Or
replacing it with a page that says that the Mac port is now full
integrated with our releases and then link to the download page. Or
put in a 401 redirect from that URL to the download page. But it is
well-trafficked enough that we can't have the URL vanish.
OK, then I prefer to use a redirect to the download area. Otherwise we
would still keep a single page in the porting area that is no longer
necessary (yes, from the logical and technical point of view).
Any other with a different opinion or alternative solution?
Thanks
Marcus
