Repo name change?

Open BigBlueHat opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Seems someone changed the name of this repo, but existing links go to ld-ocap (which currently 404s).

Maybe leave a "tombstone" with a "Publication moved" link (ideally with rel="latest-version" attached)?

Do you know of a good way to do such a redirect with github pages?

You'd have to put the repo back with a bunch of <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://example.com/"> tag refreshes for each dead page...

...yes...it's that painful. Luckily (this time), there's only one page! >_< For larger sites it's possible to use Jekyll's "magic"...but again, it's just lots of HTML files containing <meta> redirects.

The downside being that people will find both repos...so you'd want a README in the old one stating the name change.

Honestly...it may not be worth it...but that's your call.
