#255 Consider creating redirection site for image Help Files
Closed 7 years ago Opened 7 years ago by jberkus.

Per #243 we decided to have the online copies of help files live in dist-git.

I'm concerned that this will result in, sometime in the future, needing to do a massive update of all images to redirect the links somewhere else, either due to: (a) traffic, or (b) a change in dist-git setup.

Could we consider having an HTTPS redirector (i.e. vhost) somewhere in Fedora which redirects to the files in dist-git? That would allow us to move where they are kept without trauma.


IMHO we are creating a problem before it exists. I ultimately don't have to manage infrastructure so I'm going to abstain from voting on this one. I do know that I really don't want to have to deal with this at all, so if we go this route, whoever pursues implementation needs to own it in the future as well.

This is a request we would need to file with Fedora Infrastructure if it's something we actually want. No one in the WG has the capabilities to do this in an official capacity.

Waiting on resolution to #256 and #267

@maxamillion do you have an opinion on the effort/benefit ratio here? Do you think it is worth the work involved?

This is not going to be required, so closing the issue.
