The former
libguestfs.org website was running on an old server in a
cellar with "Beware of the Leopard" on the door. The server was
overdue for retirement and is about to be decommissioned.
I have moved and split up the hosting as follows:
* The main website
http://libguestfs.org is on a temporary server.
The medium term plan is to move it to Openshift, but I've been
having a lot of trouble getting access to my account, so this might
not happen for another week. It should also allow us to enable TLS
in the near-ish future.
* The
http://libguestfs.org/download directory has been moved to
+
http://builder.libguestfs.org ,
+
http://archive.libguestfs.org and
+
http://download.libguestfs.org
Existing file and directory URLs should redirect automatically.
*
http://builder.libguestfs.org contains the virt-builder templates
previously located at
http://libguestfs.org/download/builder/
Because that URL is baked into all sorts of Linux distros, I have
set up redirection which should ensure that the old URLs keep
working forever. But I will also submit an update to all our stable
branches with the new URL.
In my testing virt-builder seems fine, but more testing would be
useful here.
*
http://archive.libguestfs.org hosts old tarballs of ancient versions
of libguestfs, and is of historic interest only. The main reason to
split this out was to reduce the amount of data that we need to
store in Openshift. As above, redirects should automatically deal
with old URLs.
*
http://download.libguestfs.org hosts only tarballs for current
stable and development branches. Once a branch becomes unsupported
I'll move it to
http://archive.libguestfs.org
Note also that
http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/appliance
which is baked into some distros (particularly Gentoo) has moved.
Again, redirects should take care of everything.
All of this should be transparent to everyone - ie you shouldn't need
to do anything at all. But as with all these things, if you find
something is broken, please let me know.
Rich.
