• Any way to add some redirects on cdimage.d.o?

    From Steve McIntyre@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 3 02:40:01 2025
    Hey Mattias!

    I'm looking for ways to improve things for people when finding images
    (e.g. #1106298). Can you think of a way we could set up redirects (or
    similar) for images on cdimage.d.o to make things work for URLs
    without version numbers included? I'm looking for redirects rather
    than sym-links or changing our existing filenames, as we'd really
    prefer to keep those versioned filenames for people doing downloads
    normally...

    Hey, sorry for the late answer, been very busy days. We're good with
    running apache rewrite rules that can do redirects, but I don't think I'm
    going to get hours to do make good rules before the fall due to VAC.
