fsmithred wrote:Directory structure - I guess I'll go with:
- Code:
Stable
Testing
Refracta_Tools
fsmithred wrote:Stable will contain the stable version iso files'
Testing might contain subdirectories, various versions of tools and isos, and it might get a little messy.
Refracta_Tools will contain stable versions of the tools, probably all in the same directory.
fsmithred wrote:The web pages are actually on a different server from the downloads, and I don't think anyone can access those files except as web pages. And the oldstable (squeeze) isos will be removed due to limited space. If someone wants old versions of refracta, they're available in nadir's archive. I think that's an occasional archive that's available upon request, sitting on an antiquated box in his living room. Probably don't need a link to that, unless he wants to use it to heat his home in winter.
fsmithred wrote:There might be another directory in that mix, too. Right now I've got one named "misc" that contains screenshots of error messages for a recent post in the Help section of the forum. I put them there because the last time I used a free image hosting site, they disappeared on me, and when I tried another, they required login. Maybe that's a good reason to keep all the downloads in subdirectories of 'files' as they are now - then anything that doesn't really belong can be outside of that, but still linkable, like the 8.x version of the tools.
fsmithred wrote:For the links on the Downloads page, I thought you were in favor of having direct links to the isos.
fsmithred wrote:I'm happy just to have a link to the directory that contains the current stable versions at sourceforge. Right now, that directory is called "isohybrid". That's the same as the debian-live download site, and it tells the user that it's an isohybrid file. But not everyone understands what that means. I've thought about changing the name of that directory to something else, but I can't decide what makes the most sense. (LiveCD, Live-CD-DVD, Live-media, iso9660-files-that-can-be-burned-to-optical-media-like-CD-or-DVD) And it's already linked the way it is in some scattered forum posts, so I don't want to break those.

fsmithred wrote:One question - when it's all done, are you going to send me a tarball with all the web pages in it? When I tried saving your sample web pages, it didn't work, and I ended up with a lot of black on the screen. (Don't remember exactly, but I know it was wrong.)

fsmithred wrote:Oh wait. I said that stable isos would be in the stable directory, but there really isn't room for them and the testing isos. There will be a readme.txt that contains the link to the sf downloads. Two separate places for stable and testing tools makes sense.
fsmithred wrote:Scary blurb at bottom of home page can be replaced with something like "Refracta is free and open source software. You are allowed to blah blah blah." with a link to the GPL or maybe the debian license info page. Or maybe "Refracta and Debian Linux are free..." The gpl does contain its own disclaimer. I'll put together a couple of sentences for that.

Had to copy home_ds.html as index.html, so both of those files are there. Did a wget of your site, stopped it before it copied all of saynotogmo, and luckily, the refracta dir was all copied. Then I uploaded it to ibiblio over sftp. I'll replace the couple of pages that will get edited, and we'll be finished. It looks good.

I think it's just that and the download links that need to be finished.
