Bug#685967: amd64 install FAQ can't be read without a login / broken link
Package: www.debian.org
Attempting to read the FAQ for the amd64 port leads me to a page
requiring a login.
Starting from the page <http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/>, I follow
the link "The debian-amd64 howto and FAQ" to
<http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html>.
That redirects me to
<https://alioth.debian.org/account/login.php?triggered=1&return_to=%2Fdocman%2Fview.php%2F30192%2F21%2Fdebian-amd64-howto.html>,
which is a page requesting a username and password I don't have, and
displaying the message "You've been redirected to this login page
because you have tried accessing a page that was not available to you as
an anonymous user."
It does not seem reasonable that reading the install FAQ should require
a login.
(Note that on the page <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAMD64> there is
also a link to debian-amd64-howto.html, with the annotation "Broken as
of 20110729. FilipusKlutiero".)
