Hi, The end of Lenny leads to the end of volatile [1]. Even if I understand the value of keeping, for historical purpose, information about old releases [2] or old issues [3], I'm not sure there is any benefit keeping (misleading) information about a not any more maintained suite. The volatile part [4] of the website is about presenting something superseded by stable-update, a team [5] that non longer exists, and technical mirror informations [6,7] that are handled elsewhere [8,9,10] (and some more useless data [11,12]). I'd be in favor of removing everything, maybe just keeping the index page [4] once removed the useless information (it would be pretty slim) and redirect all the /volatile/* pages to it, or even better, remove all the /volatile directory and redirect its content to an accurate page like the replacement announcement [13] (or a better page yet to be found or written about stable-updates). Please, share your thoughts about that. If nobody answers, I'll take it as an acknowledgement and will handle the redirection to the news [13] once volatile is actually closed or Lenny archived (or sooner if I receive formal acknowledgements). 1: http://lists.debian.org/debian-volatile-announce/2012/msg00000.html 2: http://www.debian.org/releases/hamm/ 3: http://www.debian.org/y2k/ 4: http://www.debian.org/volatile/ 5: http://www.debian.org/volatile/team 6: http://www.debian.org/volatile/submit 7: http://www.debian.org/volatile/volatile-mirrors 8: http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit 9: http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror 10: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list 11: http://www.debian.org/volatile/etch-volatile.asc 12: http://www.debian.org/volatile/id_mirrorpush.pub 13: http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110215 Regards David
