[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TOOLSDOC-310) redirect /latest to /reference where the latest released docs can be found

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-310?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12769068#comment-12769068 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on TOOLSDOC-310:
----------------------------------------------

The workaround is not a sane workaround (it's a bandaid). Not being able to create symlinks via a simple sftp client breaks tons of other projects if normal symlink is not possible.

About magnolia - just please help make it less relevant to use so others than just a few can do release work.

And no we should not use html redirects - thats useless for clients that refer to explicit urls under /latest. 

About action items - looks fine. should have symlinks setup for the moved content so existing old links still works;

> for some reason https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-documentation/pull/48 removed the latest link assuming latest is used to point to the nightly build.
> That is not what it is for.
> It is to point to the latest docs made available.
> This link (before: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/latest/) was used to point to the last latest documentation.
> I believe this should be put back since this is how other docs refer to the latest version.
> We could even go so ar to create a docs.jboss.org/tools/4.0, docs.jboss.org/tools/3.3 etc. folder each with their /latest link in them.
> Latest links are trivial to make with sftp as part of the release upload anyway thus should be all possible to script if it is too cumbersome to remember.
