Description knezour 2016-08-14 10:36:45 UTC

Probably linkbaiting message in the freebsd-doc@ list [1], however documentation really contains dead links.

28.8.4.1. Django links to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ which doesn't exists any more, should be probably replaced with link to https://docs.djangoproject.com/ which redirects on actual version (/en/1.10/ at this time).

While there, I also tried all other links and in 28.8.4.2. Ruby on Rails is another one, which doesn't exists any more - http://rubyonrails.org/documentation. Closest replacement I was able to found on RoR site is http://guides.rubyonrails.org/
