Bug 2147 – Incorrect/more specific links

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

[Description Matt Boehlig 2002-04-27 07:18:31 UTC]

There are three incorrect links in the last paragraph, answering the 
question, "This FAQ hasn't answered my question. What do I do now?"

The links incorrectly have http://www.gentoo.org/doc/ in front. e. g. 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/www.google.com

Also, the question above, "Can I buy a CD of Gentoo Linux?" should link 
directly to the Gentoo product page on CheapBytes, instead their home page.  
This requires the user to spend time searching for the product. This would 
mirror the Gentoo homepage, which directly links to: 
http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/0070010805.

I checked cvs and the xml still the problem.  Which is the last couple links are
relative instead of absolute.  www.google.com instead of http://www.google.com.

The XSLT must be transforming relative links into absolute links, based on the
documents location.  It adds http://www.gentoo.org/doc/ to the front of every
relative link.  This is fine if refering to e.g. "page2.html" but not
"www.google.com".

This affects all languages.

I fixed this. Wow, that faq is a wreck. Who in the world coded some of that?
Everything should be in order that was related to this bug.
