We would map it into attic-space if we could do it elegantly.
This still preserves the URL as far as the public are concerned.
Which is my point: we preserve ghost.a.o,
Of course, but I hope we can add the "retired" top-of-page
stuff without touching the content of ghost.a.o.
and at present we preserve
www.a.o/dist/ghost as a redirect.
Of course ; but that is fixable with 3 or 4 rewrite rules
in the config of www.apache.org/dist/ ; that is, without
the www.a.o/dist/ghost directories.
These rules will work for GHOST ; as soon as there is
a "attic.a.o/projects/GHOST.html" page, www.a.o will
redirect to it.
[ on the webserver, the page is in file
/x1/www/attic.apache.org/projects/GHOST.html"
]
So, there is no need for dist/attic/GHOST ;
after attic.a.o/projects/GHOST.html is created,
infra can simply svn rm dist/release/GHOST ;
I believe that is the usual work-flow.
correct me if I'm wrong :-).
I think that is worth keeping.
Of course.
Fixing website GHOST.apache.org is a hassle.
It would be nice if we could present it "as is",
prefixed with the necessary "RETIRED" head.
That's a subject for a separate thread.
Agree :-)
Ideas (or working examples) welcome ;
think "mod_proxy", "mod_sed" etc.
Groeten,
HPP
