Permancy of booklet links

This link turned up in a google search on... Web Scraping Pharo, which is great,

http://files.pharo.org/books-pdfs/booklet-Scraping/2017-09-29-scrapingbook.pdf

but with the date I'm wondering how permanent the link is, for if I use it the respond to someone's question in a forum?

Will you be keeping years of pdfs?

For now I'll just use the directory url, but future missing files will frustrate user searches.

Perhaps a sitemap is needed (though I'm not familiar with the details)...

In reply to this post by Ben Coman

In the case of Grafoscopio Manual, the URL is fixed [1] and the manual
advices to use a unique identifier (version + revision) that appears in
the front page and in the low corner of each page to report issues [2].

[1]
http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/doc/tip/Docs/En/Books/Manual/manual.pdf
[2] http://mutabit.com/repos.fossil/grafoscopio/ticket

Maybe this approach could be followed by other publications. We have
done it for the Spanish Data Driven Journalism Handbook [3]
