debian.o-hand.com unreachable ?

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hello,

there are several parts of the Poky Handbok that refer to the
OpenedHand repository at http://debian.o-hand.com/

However, this site seems to be down, and has been unreachable for some
time.

Is there some alternative address for example for the Debian packages
poky-depends and poky-scripts ?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Wolfgang, 

What is the URL you are using for the Poky Handbook?  I would suggest not using the Poky Handbook, but rather the Poky Reference manual at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html.  This manual is much more up-to-date.

I can't really respond to why the http://debian.o-hand.com site is down or unreachable.

Thanks, 
Scott Rifenbark

The packages that were in there were ancient and not likely of any use
on modern distros having not been maintained for a long time.

If we had replacements and someone to maintain it we could reinstate
this but I'm not aware of having anything at this point. I thought the
references had been removed from the manual?

Cheers,

Richard

There are still a number of SRC_URI references to o-hand.com in master
Is that site dead [in genera[]?

If any references were removed from the Poky Handbook sources it would have been by someone other than me.  The Poky Reference Manual has no such references.

Pieces of o-hand are being relocated to new homes over time. Existing
references should still work.

Well, you did remove some of these references as the handbook became the
poky reference manual :)

I suspect this is an older copy of the docs that is being referred to
here :/.

At least the matchbox references are being redirected to matchbox-project.org
Perhaps the SRC_URI should be updated to reflect this, before it's too late?
I could go through them and propose a patch.

Thanks for pointing out.  Indeed this was my problem - I used to
gootgle for "Poky Handbook" which takes me to
http://pokylinux.org/doc/poky-handbook.html
which has all these obsolete links.

Hm... would it not make sense to update pokylinux.org and have it
point to the currecnt docs instead?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
