[GRASS-user] online documentation is off

giohappy · January 24, 2008, 10:12pm

What’s happened to the online documentation? It appears to be off from this afternoon.

We have yesterday moved grass.osgeo.org physically to download.osgeo.org
which gives the advantage of having better ssh access to the machine. The
manuals are now back to the old directory position:

http://grass.osgeo.org/grass62/manuals/html62_user/
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass63/manuals/html63_user/

I have fixed the links on the server accordingly. It needs 1-2 days to propagate
to all mirrors.

The change is needed since grass.itc.it is now being switched to mirror
mode with http://grass.osgeo.org as new master site (where also binaries
are built and the programmers manual; it is also the new rsync master for tier-1
mirrors).

Sorry for no earlier announcement, we changed things in a sort of
emergency activity yesterday evening, and I cleaned up today.
The page
http://grass.osgeo.org/gdp/manuals.php

is updated to the new/old location of the manual pages. Also other
relevant pages have been fixed. Please watch out for further broken links.

cheers,
Markus

Salut!

Just a small remark... (because I don't know where the master server now
is):

if the master server is not in Italy then maybe the first message in
http://grass.osgeo.org/ ("You are at the official GRASS site in Italy
(or a mirror site) ) should be changed I suppose.

Right - I have now removed "Italy".

It would be cool to have PHP based IP geolocating here, to auto-insert
the location.
Any ideas how to implement that?

I only know (and have installed on firefox) this plug-in...

http://geolocatefox.mozdev.org/

But rarely I see geo-location information about websites.

OK, good pointer

<?php
echo $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
?>

tells me the server IP, and

would give me the right flag (or the name with
http://api.hostip.info/get_html.php?ip=WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ
).

Now I need to put both together...

Done now: Compare "You are at the official GRASS site in ..."
http://grass.osgeo.org/
http://grass.fbk.eu/
(the other mirrors within 1-2 days...)

Servus / Hi

I guess one has to update the citings to: (respective move the 5.4 manuals also to the osgeo-server)

http://grass.itc.it/download/index.php#citing
