Re: [OSGeoLive] All OSGeoLive Docs versions online
Hi Seth, I was wondering why we don't have a symlink problem for images with the latest few releases? Looking at https://live.osgeo.org/de/index.html it appears that Vicky's new doc build script is smart enough to not create duplicate images for different languages (which as the case before). If you look at the old archive directory for say release 10.5, you see that we have duplicates of images. Eg: English version of docs points to: https://live.osgeo.org/archive/10.5/_images/osgeolive_menu6.png German version points to: https://live.osgeo.org/archive/10.5/_images/osgeolive_menu2.png To save space from images, Hamish Bowman wrote a script to create symlinks. I have a few ideas in moving forward: 0. To work out the broken symlink problem for images, you could: * Try and work out how to fix the symlink problem as you suggest. You might be able to find Hamish's old symlink generation script in the bin/ directory somewhere to help with that. (This sounds like a lot of work). * Copy the HTML from our archive web pages (which uses duplicate images). This will create a large repository due to duplicate images, which isn't perfect, but we will be rarely working on the archive repository, so it is probably acceptable. 1. I think this historical archive of past releases you have created is really valuable. 2. I think it should be findable from the main docs, probably as a small link at the bottom of https://live.osgeo.org : Prior releases and docs can be found in our archive/. This archive would be the jump page you have created. 3. While the archive jump page can be stored in our master docs, I don't think we should store each releases' archive in there. We can either keep it on a directory, as was previously done for prior releases. Or put into git, as you have done (which I like). I think that it deserves its own repository, something like OSGeoLive-doc-archive 4. We should capture information about the latest doc release, and information about the archive in our build process documentation wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/wiki. Would you like to update this? (You deserve the credit in the wiki history.) 5. Felicity has a bunch of pull requests for quickstarts. https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pulls which are to be processed for the 13.1 doc release early next year. I'll try and get at least one of two reviewed within the week in order to check your publishing of the master docs pipeline.

How are you creating these pages? It seems that image links are broken for releases 6.0 to 10.5. Do you know why that is?

Re: [OSGeoLive] Missing old release files on SourceForge
Hey Tim, I don't suppose you managed to keep a memento copy of the 1.0 release of the OSGeo LiveDVD which you took to FOSS4G South Africa back in 2008?
