list of files under current web-devel-2/; and list of what is generated from svn trunk (166.45 KB, application/x-gzip) 2008-10-29 07:48 UTC, Frederic Peters	Details

Description Murray Cumming 2008-08-23 12:47:33 UTC

We cleaned a lot of old crap out of the developer.gnome.org svn, but the svn-to-website system doesn't remove old pages, so they are still available to google, which doesn't prefer library.gnome.org as it should.

Removing these pages from the web server would also help us to see what's really still in the svn module so we can do any further necessary cleanup.

Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2008-10-17 10:27:41 UTC

Olav, can you do this?

Created attachment 121564 [details]
list of files under current web-devel-2/; and list of what is generated from svn trunk

I did try this a few days ago but there was a massive difference between what is currently present and the generated result.

See the two file lists I attached.

Comment 3 Frederic Peters 2008-10-29 07:59:00 UTC

(comment made on bug 541046 but more appropriate here)

I moved top-level directories that were removed from subversion out of the
webroot area.

  /usr/local/www/web-devel-2$ mv \
    arch/ documentation/ documents/ dotplan/ downloads/ feature/ gep/ helping/
status/ tools/ \
    ~gnomeweb/web-devel-2-archive-20081029/

Comment 4 Frederic Peters 2008-10-29 08:03:57 UTC

Moved obsolete directories from doc/ to the archive.

/usr/local/www/web-devel-2/doc$ mv \
   API/ books/ FAQ/ standards/ \
   ~gnomeweb/web-devel-2-archive-20081029/doc/

Comment 5 Murray Cumming 2008-10-29 08:09:22 UTC

Thanks.

Yes, the difference is huge. That's the point - we removed lots of complete crap and moved the good stuff elsewhere.

Comment 6 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2008-10-31 05:29:20 UTC

Willie Walker and I have been doing a clean-up of outdated and duplicate a11y content. See bug #558602. 

Everything in projects/gap has been accounted for and can now be deleted from svn. I attempted to do this myself, but I got a Forbidden error. Do you need a patch from us or is this comment/request sufficient?

Thanks much in advance!

Comment 7 Murray Cumming 2008-10-31 08:49:08 UTC

I have removed the directory, as requested. Many thanks for making this
possible.
