Description Tres 'RiverRat' Melton 2005-06-20 11:24:37 UTC
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.0
has an error checker that has a bad link.

BAD:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/2005.0-upgrade-amd64.xml

GOOD:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=1

Is there any way that you can add a redirect?

I think that fixing this in portage is a more sane solution... CCing amd64.

Perhaps but it was the web guys that moved the page and adding a redirect will
fix it for everyone immediately as opposed to waiting for them to re-emerge
wherever it is going to get fixed.  In my opinion both solutions should be
employed.  Also, if you are in the middle of an upgrade you can't really do
anything else until you are finished with the 2004.3 -> 2005.0 upgrade and that
check is what forces the error with the bad link and what the page in question
details.

The issue has come up on the Gentoo-AMD64 mailing list but the correct link has
been posted there.
