A naive query shows 2469 links to
http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?...
Yeah.
Two possible options:
a) Setup some kind of redirect for the old links that tries to get
people to approximately the same package/area.
b) Setup a redirect to a page that says we switched to cgit and how to
search it for what they are looking for.
Looks like there are some folks who have worked on such redirects in
the past:
http://ao2.it/en/blog/2011/05/06/migrate-gitweb-cgit-url-rewrite-rules
Does anyone know how often those urls are really accessed?
I would expect in the case of bugs to be used perhaps for reference
during reviews or bugs, but then when closed, no one bothers anymore?
Any further feedback on this idea? ;)
