Broken links need to be fixed. 404s make our users unhappy. about homepage HOT 16 CLOSED

Thanks for the list Ruben, that must have taken a lot of time...

Just for anybody else listening in here, I'll repeat what I already talked with you about:

We're not going to resurrect every single possible URL than anybody might have ever used, that would pollute our namespace going forward.

Instead we 'recover' links which are clearly in use, as we go.

So far I have dealt with the VMOD pages (see the other issues/pull comments)

I've added 301's for the four /installation urls

The /planet links were already pointed to the other site, I've pointed /forum likewise now.

from homepage.

I have added a wildcard 301 from "^/utility" to "/extras/"

from homepage.

I have pointed "^/comment" at the old server.

from homepage.

I rewrite "docs/master" to "docs/trunk"

What about rss.xml ?

from homepage.

Added:

content/varnish-cache-403 > releases/rel4.0.3.html
content/varnish-cache-412 > releases/rel4.1.2.html

from homepage.

I have added the wiki -> trac/wiki redirect, but we SERIOUSLY need to study what people read there and make sure it is still connected to reality.

I have moved the ArchtectNotes from the wiki into my random outbursts

from homepage.

Old trac changeset links are 404s. Random example:

https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/changeset/cfb309cad60e0239bc7168082d73b4ab6b53744a/

from homepage.

Yes, I know. I don't think we'll be doing anything about those.

from homepage.

Thanks. Can already see things working much better.

Could you please make that 301 "^/utilit"instead of "^/utility" so we cover all utility and utilities* cases?

If you have the VCL somewhere I could also send a PR or send the updated file.

from homepage.

The content links are still not working. Could we add a "^/content/varnish-cache-" pointing to releases/ and be done with it?

from homepage.

Wiki clean-up is a major task that needs to be approached properly.

I have a plan for that and it includes going through the whole thing, curating its content, making a collection of properly supported VCL examples/templates and integration snippets and better documentation.

I will not get into details now, but expect to see issues popping up here on GitHub next week.

from homepage.

Adding a new issue on rss.xml

from homepage.

Forum is now snapshot'ed.

from homepage.

Only thing we access from old server now is planet

from homepage.

Most of this is now fixed. Last thing needing to move is the Planet. Is there any traffic to it these days?

from homepage.

I have 410'ed /planet.

from homepage.
