Bug#986548: wiki.debian.org: https://raspi.debian.net/daily/ should list available files
Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Tags: a11y, patch
Visiting https://raspi.debian.net/daily/ should provide a list of
files available for download. Currently it shows "YOU GOT TO THE
WRONG PLACE. Go here instead.", /here/ being
https://raspi.debian.net/.
A list of files available would be more useful because:
* we can see what files are available
* we can determine what size our desired download will be
Additionally:
* Debian is an open project and has no need to hide information
* Users installing Debian are unlikely to visit this page by
accident, they will have come here to ascertain the information
above.
* making this change is likely as simple as deleting the index.html
file in the webserver directory that corresponds to
https://raspi.debian.net/daily/, so it's a very simple fix.
How I got to https://raspi.debian.net/daily/:
* visited https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPiImages
* looked at the instructions and wanted to know what size the
download would be
* manually calculated the address where the files were kept from the
instructions
* entered that address into my browser
* was greeted with a less-than-helpful error message
To fix:
* delete the index.html file in the webserver directory that
corresponds to https://raspi.debian.net/daily/
