Hi Guys,

I might miss something here, but how about:

/mirrors/ <-- Mirror info here
/downloads/ <-- Packages, with a link to "mirrors"

Under /downloads/ we could have /major_version/version/files.bla e.g:

/downloads/3.1/3.1.7/squid-3.1.7.deb

/Version can still link to /downloads/

Cheers,

Pieter

The current website layout for Versions/ and Download/ is a little confusing and I would like to combine the two into a simpler form.

The main problem is the download links and section called Download/ is just documentation about downloading and mirrors. The actual download files themselves are under Versions/. The link between the two is an easily overlooked link on Download/ and there are several click layers to wade through before any actual package link becomes available.

I would like to make the Download/ index page a redirect to Versions/ index page, move the Download/ text to an intro for the Versions/ page, and add some automated links from the Versions/ page straight to the latest tarballs. Eventually I would like to link to the OS distro package sources of the stale release(s) from here too and get rid of all those "where do I find binaries for distro X" FAQs.


Comments? Other ideas?


Amos
