#2956 closed defect (fixed)

Bad link to wget-list

Description

The link to the wget-list is not correct in the file: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/LFS-BOOK-7.0-NOCHUNKS.html (Chapter 3.1)

However, if you read the online version: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter03/introduction.html, the link is correct.

I don't know if we should try to fix that or not. The link would be different for the chunked version and the nochunks version because the wget-list is in different relative directories on the server ( '.' vs '..' ).

By the way, the .html file in the downloads directory was a mistake. Only the .bz2 compressed version should be there as in all other releases. I've removed the .html nochunked version.

If downloading, the wget-list is obvious in the downloads directory and would have to be downloaded separately anyway.

I suppose we could manually change the link to an absolute path, but that would have to be done for each release. Also absolute paths are pretty fragile.

Matt, do you think this is worth fixing?

It seemed trivial enough to fix, so I've done that in r9658.

Good call. I was thinking docbook/xsl instead of the easy way.
