Automatic redirects actively expose the visitor to any malicious or mistaken links set by the project owner. If you want to allow the documentation to be at some arbitrary location of the project owner's choice, then an explicit static link, which the visitor must click on (similar to the project home page link) is best. -- \ “I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. | `\ But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take | _o__) it seriously.” —Douglas Adams | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
