Bug 69296 – Link to genericmailsql.sql file is broken

• Product: [OLD] Docs-user
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Stanek 2004-10-28 10:20:22 UTC]

The link to genericmailsql.sql no longer works. It points to an unregistered domain. Google came up with this alternative link:

Fixed in CVS.

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-12-03 09:31:20 UTC]

It is a very poor assumption that this file will always remain in my public_html in that location. Especially since I wasn't informed that official Gentoo documentation links to it, so I had no reason to keep it there.

Please host it somewhere in gentoo CVS. I would suggest a supplements/ subdir to the docs or similar.

[Comment 3 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) 2004-12-03 10:07:10 UTC]

Very good point.

Sven, how about /doc/en/files/ as long as we keep it cleaner than all those files in our Portage tree? This way translators can either link to the same files or have a localized copy under their own /doc/LANG/files/ when it makes sense.

[Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-12-03 14:26:01 UTC]

Well, that's a possible solution, although we will have to watch this very closely. Otherwise we'll get dozens of documents with files (think bug #69734 with the files of bug #45593).

Should we use any naming scheme? E.g. virt-mail-howto-genericmailsql.sql? I don't think this is wise (since it can be referenced from several documents) but it makes it easier to manage. Or we can add the references as comments in the file (SQL takes "-- " as comment separator), but that's butt-ugly for the readers.

[Comment 5 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) 2004-12-06 02:00:13 UTC]

Okay, created a "files/" subdirectory which contains the file. Updated virt-mail-howto.xml to link to this location.

Thanks!

This link is broken AGAIN.

[Comment 8 Łukasz Damentko (RETIRED) 2008-10-06 18:12:55 UTC]

The link leads to this:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/files/genericmailsql.sql

And this does work for me.

[Comment 9 anest 2008-10-06 18:16:19 UTC]

oops, sorry, my fault! :\
ps: overworked

No problem at all. Thanks for the report.
