Description Oisin Hurley

2009-07-06 06:05:29 EDT

Links on download page are of the form

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/vep/downloads/drops/1.4.0/I200906301501/VE-Update-I200906301501.zip

and should be 

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/ve/downloads/drops/1.4.0/I200906301501/VE-Update-I200906301501.zip

The difference is - /tools/vep should be /tools/ve  - then the download will succeed.

Nick, I know you wrote these pages.  I spent about 5 minutes trying to find the issue, and the only thing I can think of is the programmatic mismatch between the 'project name' of vep and the download directory of ve.

If you can't change the code, then I can just rename the 've' download directory to match.

I can change the code - and thought I'd already worked around this - but wouldn't it be teh axxesome if they just matched? 

Suggest using VE for both instead of VEP cuz "project" is the most meaningless thing to add to an acronym since "framework" or "plugin". And two-letter acronyms are indie cool. TLAs are just ... mainstream.

Can we move vep -> ve instead of ve -> vep? All we'd need is 

a) move /cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/vep/ to /ve/

b) symlink or redirect from /cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/vep/ to /ve/. Symlinks in the CVS filesystem work for keeping existing checked out projects from breaking.

c) Symlink or redirect from http://www.eclipse.org/vep/ to /ve/ so old links will still end up with content in its moved location.

Note that the Bugzilla "Product" is "VE", not VEP, and the project about page is http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=tools.ve so it's really just the website that's foo'd in the bar.

I've hacked around the problem for now. Links on download page work again. 

But at what cost?!? :)

Note also that VE 1.4.0 R is available. Woo!

Thanks Nick!

I cannot see the R build on the web yet. Maybe later?
