This note is mostly for Erich,
For the last 2 years, there has been a problem with our readme file in
our installation packages. The readme file has a sentence that
re-directs our users to a http://libreoffice/welcome/helpme.html page
that does not exist.
Our version of SilverStripe does NOT allow to add suffixes to its pages
(but SilverStripe 3.X does). I realized this when I tried to create the
page, it turn the ".html" into "-html".
So, there is now a bug out to try to correct this[1] and I am proposing
that we NOT use the last link but that we now use a more appropriate
SilverStripe page here "https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/readme"; or
just not have a "readme" page on our site and remove the sentence from
the "readme" file. The QA people will eventually close the bug with a
decision.
In the meantime, we have all the past versions of LibreOffice pointing
to the page that does not exit.
Erich: Could you put a redirect of request of
http://www.libreoffice.org/welcome/readme.html to
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/readme on our site? The
SilverStripe forums suggested that one way to do this is through our
.htaccess. You would also have to comment on it that the redirect should
not be removed till we are certain that legacy versions of LibreOffice
are no longer used.
It looks like this will still be in LibreOffice v.4.0 unless QA changes it.
Or would you have any other suggestion?
The bug can be found here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54206. BTW ... the wrong
link also shows in all readme for all languages; so, the readme points
to a wrong page for a large number of people who choose it.
