note to whomever sees this: please avoid doing so until you get an explicit ack from me. There is still some use to the GNATS pages while issues are cross checked. (In reply to Eitan Adler from comment #1) > note to whomever sees this: please avoid doing so until you get an explicit > ack from me. There is still some use to the GNATS pages while issues are > cross checked. I would suggest something like real-query-pr.cgi to not redirect. People do search for PRs by going to the menue item “Support” at http://www.freebsd.org/ and choosing either “Bug Reports” (leading to the old http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi) or “Submit Bug-report” (leading to the old http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html). In the first case, they are not shown the new reports from Bugzilla therefor constantly fileing PRs about things allready reported (like I myself have done, I do have to admit). In the second case theire PR is transfered to Bugzilla, but they are not sent an e-mail about it anymore and—as mentioned in the previous paragraph—can not find theire report. Because of that they are likely to either file yet another PR or become frustrated and stopp contributing. Some comment leading to the new system at the old pages would make this less bad, I think. I mean “Support” (http://www.freebsd.org/support.html), “Bug Reports” (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi) and “Submit Bug-report” (http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html). ru, Kalten This was fixed but I've just reverted. You now get the stale data again. this was never actually fixed. it was incorrectly modified to look like it was fixed some edge cases. Can we establish a redirection for https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=<ID> to https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=<ID> now? The existing queries do not work anymore, cross-checking (comment 1) has become impossible, but as pointed out in bug 193789, many links out of the reach of the FreeBSD project exist, which should not be left broken. Redirect now in place. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164763 type URLs redirect to the same PR within Bugzilla. As an interim, prepending "gnats-" to the URL, e.g. https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/gnats-query-pr.cgi?pr=164763 will still show the stale GNATS data. Gavin |
