Offer to help with broken links

[Larry Fletcher]

Website Maintainers,

I have been a Debian user for 16 years and have used an automated link 
checker on a handful of websites for 12 years.  What I would like to do 
is help with repairing and removing broken links.


The following report is easy to use (with email clients and newsreaders 
that support the HTML format) and it only contains broken links, so 
there are no lists to search through and the same false positives are 
not seen every time the link checker runs.


The pages will be checked once a month and reports are only sent if 
there are broken links, which means you can completely forget about 
broken links until a new one is found.


False positives will be removed from the reports before they are sent 
and the link checker will be configured to suppress them in the future.  
If a false positive is missed, I will probably see it when the current 
and previous reports are compared, or you can send me the link.  New 
broken links will be held for a month before they are reported, which 
helps to avoid dealing with a link that is temporarily down.


So if anyone is interested, all I need are the URLs of the pages you 
want to check.


Thanks for all of the great work over the years!

   Larry

You can do a quick fix by modifying the line 158 of file urlcheck.py":
- msg = " : IOError: " + arg.args[0]
+ msg = " : IOError: " + str(arg.args[0])

However, this error occurs probably because another error was occured
before. So after applying the patch, the first error could appear in a
normal way.
As I don't have the code, I don't know which behaviour is planned.

There are currenlty alternatives packaged in Debian.
If I remember well, someone (Holger perhaps?) planned to modify an
upstream code to fit better with the needs of the team. I don't know
if it's used today.

If not, linkchecker could be used with a cron easily.

I guess you mean webcheck?

linkchecker seems good to me. Either way urlcheck should be removed
and replaced with either webcheck or linkchecker.

Re: Wrong behavior of language-change bar on stats webpages for Debian website

[David Prévot]

Hi,

Right. Some time ago (Wednesday March 09 2011), on #debian-www:

14:16 < taffit> Arg, forgot to handle the language footer in translated
stats :/

Since those pages are mostly of translators use, they should see it on
their own language anyway, and those people may know they simply can add
a few letters to an URL (e.g. “.it“ for Italian) to see a content in
another language.

“useless” seems pretty strong, are you missing
 maybe?

> I'm not sure what the problem is, so I cannot fix it, sorry.

The WML files in english/devel/website/stats/ are generated by
webwml/stattrans.pl. Since there is no corresponding WML files in
$otherlanguage/devel/website/stats/, the usual code in
english/template/debian/languages.wml doesn’t work fit. It would be nice
if someone would be willing to fix that, I guess, but it’s not very high
on my own TODO list (as stated by the quantity of time since I noticed it).

Regards

David
