Hi,
CPAN mirror sites sometimes want to add some sponsor info
to the mirrored CPAN home page. This is allowed, but the
documented[1] method is vague and not elegant.
I propose we fix this ; see (the source of) :
http://cpan.cs.uu.nl/ondex.html
Changes :
-- add "<script src="/local/site.js" charset="utf-8"></script>"
-- add a javascript function "hostedby()"
-- add an empty <span id="hostedby"> in the "footer_mirror" section
A mirror site can set a sponsor logo without changing /index.html ;
simply by adding "/local/site.js", containing something like :
var site_url = 'http://www.cs.uu.nl/' ;
var site_img = 'http://www.cs.uu.nl/icons/li-dsol.png' ;
[1] see the source of https://www.cpan.org/
A "diff -u" is included below.
Regards,
Henk Penning
