Re: Removing old news from webpages
Hi Jonathan, hi all,
please accept that the web team will not restore the old news on www.d.org.
But here's how you can make the old news available soon:
Set up a web server on a new domain, restore the old news there.
Provide a generic apache redirect rule for www.d.org
The current redirect rules can be found in
https://salsa.debian.org/dsa-team/mirror/dsa-puppet.git
in the file
./modules/roles/templates/apache-www.debian.org.erb
A diff or MR for this file can than be reviewed by the web team, but
the DSA team has to apply it.
It should be a redirecton rule, that only redirects from /news to the
new domain, if the directory (/news/<year>/) is not found on the local
disk.
On #debian-www rhonda already tought about setting up an archive for
old news but after we talked to each other she said that she may drop
this effort. But maybe she still likes to help.
I hope that the people that felt disappointed about the removal of old
news can drive the work of setting up this archive in the near future.
best regards Thomas, Laura, Carsten from the web master team
