[SAC] https://trac.osgeo.org/proj -> proj4.org redirection

The Proj.4 content migration is now complete, and all relevant (and disorganized) content that existed in the Trac instance has now been migrated (https://github.com/OSGeo/proj.4/issues/474) into the code tree and Sphinx-based website at http://proj4.org

We need a permanent redirect from https://trac.osgeo.org/proj to http://proj4.org I might still have admin rights to make this change, but I would be nervous about clobbering things. Can someone help us out?

PS. The proj4.org website is now built automatically as part of Travis CI builds and uploaded and served by GitHub pages. The domain is owned by OSGeo and managed by SAC. We would be happy to move to OSGeo-hosted variants of both of these free services, but the convenience of each of these has been hard to beat. When the free runs out as it inevitably will, we can migrate the website-generation and hosting.

I'll do it.
NOTE: the apache config is stored in a local-only git repository.

Thanks for the puntualization.
At the moment we've no ready-made website-generation facility.
Would be nice to craft one (foss4g conf 2017 also asked for this).

Done, and found the git repository is not local-only but also published
as a private repository on the experimental OSGeo git service
(you need to login and be granted access to see):
https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/sac/tracsvn-apache-config

Please test and let me know if there's any problem.
Also please let me know if you need a dump of the trac database
and if we can get rid of it.

I'll do it.

Seems to work.

Can you please add a two more redirects?

http://proj4.org/wiki/FAQ --> http://proj4.org/faq.html

http://proj4.org/wiki/ProjList --> http://proj4.org/projections/index.html

Looks nicer than a 404 error.

thanks

Do you mean redirects from https://trac.osgeo.org/proj4/wiki/… ?
How about sending a pull request via Gogs ? Shall we try that ?
See https://git.osgeo.org/gogs/sac/tracsvn-apache-config
(you need to sign in or it will also be a 404)

Yes. Because lots of web pages and search engines point to the old URLs and confuse the users that all seems to be gone while indeed the page names changed…
At Apache level easy to add.

Done, please double-check.
