old source URLs

[Greg Stein <gs...@gmail.com>]

Hi Attic!

I found that some pages have old URLs for their repositories, such as:
  http://attic.apache.org/projects/deltacloud.html

git-wip-us.a.o no longer exists. It should be github or gitbox instead.

Dunno what other projects may have a similar issue, but would request they
get updated.

Cheers,
-g

I'm not sure I agree, especially in the case of an Attic site.
Seems to me the site should reflect the last known state as far as possible.
Transition to Attic should be a once-off for each PMC, otherwise it's
not really scalable.
The number of sites is generally increasing whilst the number of Attic
devs is not.

Even in the case of active sites, there is a difference between a
project making a change, and having a change imposed externally.
As far as possible, I would expect such URL changes to be
transparently supported.

I have no idea why it does not work for deltacloud. git-wip is a CNAME to
gitbox, which "should" provide redirects or service to the repositories.
Investigation is clearly needed, and maybe some fixes within our services.

At a minimum, "git-wip-us.a.o" is no longer a canonical URL, and (IMO)
should be changed.

git-wip-us.apache.org does exist as a DNS name.

I thought the intention was that the old URLs would be redirected?

Redirection certainly works for some URLs, e.g.

https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=jmeter.git

So why does it not work for deltacloud?
