Hey, everybody! There is a bug open on DTrace (6558281 P2 bad url in dtrace script(s?)) that boils down to making a URL reference in code to documentation that has moved. So, the permalink turned out to be "not so perma". :-)
Now, we'll fix this particular case (one way or another), but it does bring up the larger issue of permalinks, and not just doc->doc, but also code->doc. Links going from docs -> code seem like a pretty safe thing to do in practice, but given that docs can and do change (or move around) more frequently than code does, how much should we encourage/discourage links the other direction, from code -> docs? Or, alternately, is there a need for more stable links into the docs? How do other projects solve this? Mike This message posted from opensolaris.org
