How's about this: The download URI would point to <http://validator.w3.org/source/download/>, which would be a Apache-generated directory view. This would make the link less likely to bitrot. 209 1 link 2002-11-29 17:11:07 +0000 Apache directory listings aren't valid markup so I'm boycotting them. When we switch to Apache 2.0 we might provide a custom module for this, but for now lets stay with a normal page and links (besides, I don't like the deep hierarchy of /source/download/). But having two tarballs, two+ RPMs, and two+ debs, etc. makes this a bit of a headache to maintain, I'll grant. 211 2 ville.skytta 2002-11-29 18:27:19 +0000 Hmm, I think if you don't get too fancy with the indexing, the indexes are valid HTML 3.2, cf. <http://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/>. That one doesn't have charset set, but it, of course, can be added. BTW, I don't like the deep hierarchy either. But the situation where this actually becomes a problem are local installations. And now that I think about it, maybe the best way to solve this is to make source/index.html *always* point to v.w.o/source/index.html so that it wouldn't exist locally at all. Problem solved, I guess. 214 3 ville.skytta 2002-11-30 06:02:08 +0000 Terje, I'm adding you to Cc: of this one, I think 'zilla didn't send you mail about my comment yesterday. WDYT? 219 4 link 2002-11-30 12:24:36 +0000 Oh, you were worried about local installations? No, I think it's wholly appropriate that the download links point to w3.org. Installing a tarball in the local htdocs/ would be rather wastefull. 220 5 ville.skytta 2002-11-30 14:38:04 +0000 I think it would be better (easier to maintain) to change not only the download links, but all links to source/ to point to v.w.o/source/. And exclude the htdocs/source dir entirely from local installations. This would mean hardcoding v.w.o/source/ into about.html, header.html, whatsnew.html and check. Ok? 222 6 link 2002-11-30 14:44:55 +0000 Go for it... :-) 236 7 ville.skytta 2002-11-30 17:43:43 +0000 Done.
