Over the years, much of it's moved to other places, ie, getfedora.org and the like. Last december, the websites team thought they could just stop building/syncing fedoraproject.org website. This was fine until we deployed a new proxy and it could not get any of the files for that site, including and importantly: hotspot.txt. So, we quickly setup a alias to another file for hotspot.txt and created it in ansible with a 'contents=OK' since it was not at all clear that a \n was in there or important. And indeed everyone using the NM detection said it was working fine, so we left it at that. kevin
