As far as I'm aware, because the www/ build > doesn't remove any old files, all the links on the website still work > (correct me if I'm wrong). Right now, all links still work. What's more, with doc/ frozen, they don't point to obsolete files, either. What we have right now is the doc/ tree rendered in two places (I'm using the English translation as an example): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/ The first URL is stale; the second isn't. Fortunately, the first URL is also relatively new (couple months), so the amount of links using them should be minimal. I suggest that we keep the second URLs (i.e., don't back out ache's changes), and make symlinks from the first to the second, at least for a whlie (say, another couple months). As far as I can tell, this and relnotes are the only [remaining] problems. Thus, at this point I think we should unfreeze doc/ and add the symlinks (I can do the latter). Bruce (bmah) already said he knew how to fix relnotes if the change is to stay.
