[squeak-dev] [ANN][Squeak-dev Images] New location

Hi,

please note that the download location for the squeak-dev images (all
flavours) has changed to:

https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299


Thank you

I must say that I'm not quite happy with a new location. Old one was
very simple and obvious while on the new one it is quite hard to find
anything. There is just too much packages for many projects on the page.
Can you at least put squeak-dev and squeak-web on the separate page?

I think it would be pity if your excellent work would be less popular
because of harder accessibility. Easy access to your distributions is
really important That's in my opinion but I'm sure others would agree too.

Best regards
Janko

I'm sorry I was not clear enough. Some weeks ago, I informed the
squeak mailing-list about a new faster download location with a
counter for each file. It was
http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1211. This address did not
replace the other ones (http://squeak.ofset.org/squeak-dev/ and
ftp://ftp.ofset.org/squeak/squeak-dev).

I opened this thead to inform the list that the new location was not
available anymore and was replaced by
http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1211. The other locations are
still valid. The list of download urls are always available at
http://damien.cassou.free.fr/.

Is that ok?

Damien,

maybe the evil iframe could do the job here (to integrate the gforge page in your free address)... so that you have the counter used  each time...

my 2 cents...

I do not understand your solution. The main problem, IIUC, is the
GForge page which contains way too much things. I would like to have a
page which contains only squeak-dev versions. Do you propose a
solution for that?

Thank you

Ok, because old location is just as nicely simple as possible, you have
only the latest image to download, no need to search around and think
about which one is right one. But if you like to have other versions, go
ahead and open old folder. From usability standpoint (and therefore
success of your work) old location is better, IMHO.

What I could do is replace the old location directory by a webpage.
This webpage would contain links which point to the newest files on
the new location. What about this?

Damien, maybe you could put the squeak-dev files in an another place
than the project Pharo files in order to have no confusion.
