There's a useful utility called `linkchecker` that will verify links in our site. It's packaged in Fedora already (yay!) so this Makefile goo should invoke it properly. The resulting CSV file can be loaded into LibreOffice (or whatever) and filtered to find 404 or other errors.
I used this process recently to detect dead sponsor site links: <https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fedora-web.git/commit/?id=361b47a42a> A few notes: * This process downloads a few 10's of MiB, so if you're on a heavily metered connection you may want to leave this process to someone else. * Very large downloads will generate a timeout error, which is normal. The configuration file has been set so that the rule won't download enormous images. * The httplib3 library on which linkchecker relies gets cranky about verification of HTTPS links, so you'll see numerous warnings, which can be safely ignored. -- websites mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/websites
