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?
+1.
While at it you may also want to look into getting rid of the
duplicate
release information in /Versions/ and /Versions/<branch>/ which we
tend
to forget to update in every release.
This release details are now automated by the mk-static.sh systems. All
we need to do is update the Versions/index.dyn page when new series are
created or shifted between beta/stable/deprecated status.
