#768 Find and fix all links to pipermail archive
Closed: fixed 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by abitrolly.

I found a link to https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/ from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Committee?rd=Packaging:Committee - the link to old archives which ends on 2015.

In ideal world this page should be served by redirector to https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@lists.fedoraproject.org/ which counts clicks and referrals to fix links.


I removed the link; it was redundant as there's already a link to the proper place in the same paragraph.

If you see other links which need to be corrected, feel free to let us know.

How about setting a redirector on the previous page? I.e. solving the problem in systematic way to free people time to care about other issues?

I don't know what you mean by "setting a redirector". If you mean adding redirects on the web server, that's well beyond the scope of something the packaging committee can do.

Yes, I am talking about web server or front proxy config.

So where is the place for collaboration issues that group itself can not do?

I don't know how this could be considered to be a collaboration issue, but if you want to contact the administrators who run the web servers and thus could potentially add redirects, their ticketing instance is at https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/. However, something tells me that they have already carefully considered the subject of redirecting from the old archive pages.
