The current icon contains only a 16x16 image which isn't optimal for new browsers. Also on gmane it doesn't look nice because they scale it up to 48x48.
Created attachment 259094 [details] New icon containing 16x16, 32x32, and 48x48 pixel images
now deployed on every site that uses /var/www/empty/favicon.ico (only infra will understand what this means) Remaining: Robin has to define where else it is used, or update the favicon.ico itself in respective places.
(In reply to comment #2) > Remaining: Robin has to define where else it is used, or update the favicon.ico > itself in respective places. Deployed on www.g.o/favicon.ico now via the default favicon.ico (that is /var/www/empty/favicon.ico) so it is not using the favicon.ico in cvs. Does anyone know a reason to keep it?
There are a few pages that define http://www.gentoo.org/favicon.ico and specify the 16x16 size: /htdocs/search/archives-gentoo-org.xml /htdocs/search/www-gentoo-org.xml guide.xsl only lists it as: <link REL="shortcut icon" HREF="{concat($ROOT,'favicon.ico')}" TYPE="image/x-icon"/> So it pulls it from $ROOT, which I'm guessing is www.gentoo.org/
Thanks Josh. Apache is explicity serving www.g.o/favicon.ico as the file /var/www/empty/favicon.ico so anything referencing www.g.o/favicon.ico now is using the new icon already. To find out what guide.xsl is referencing is the interesting bit.
(In reply to comment #5) > To find out what guide.xsl is referencing is the > interesting bit. I couldn't find anything in our XSL that explicitly sets ROOT to www.gentoo.org/, but I assume it is, since that's standard webcoding stuff. Maybe it's set somewhere in the interaction of gorg and apache. Someone with access would have to check those out. Otherwise it's probably safe to assume ROOT=www.gentoo.org/ for all of our XSL.
