couple questions about cleaning up the Quick Start Guide

couple questions about cleaning up the Quick Start Guide

[Robert P. J. Day]

  perusing the QS guide in prep for giving a yocto talk this week to
my local LUG and some cosmetic changes i can submit a patch for:

1) www.yoctoproject.org/downloads clearly redirects to
   downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases these days.  any objection
   to my just changing the former references to the latter throughout
   the QS guide?

2) there's a reference to the edison tarball

http://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/poky/poky-edison-6.0.tar.bz2

   but there's no such tarball, it's at

http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.1/poky-edison-6.0.tar.bz2

  although *older* tarballs are under the "downloads" directory.
what's the proper directory location for this stuff?  can it be made
consistent?  thanks.

Robert, 

Thanks for the stuff and the look here.  Regarding your first point - I don't have a problem using the real link over the redirect.  The only things that come to mind are if they work why change them?  But, if the community wants the downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases URL in there I can certainly go in and make changes to master.  

On the second point - you are absolutely correct here.  I will fix that in master to reflect where the tarball really is.  I think as the project moves forward there will be more consistency.  Early life jitters I guess :)

Thanks for your input.

Scott

  yes, that's a judgment call, someone else can make that decision.
obviously, not a critical change.

  i suspect you've already seen the two patches i posted yesterday.
just apply what you think is useful, i've already moved on to the next
manual i'm fighting with. :-)

I think someone tried to "fix" the quick start based on Robert's input 
and it got broken instead.

The quick start I downloaded on Oct 21 was fine and said:

$ wget http://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/poky/poky-edison-6.0.tar.bz2

The one I get today from
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html 

does not work and says:

$ wget 
http://www.downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.1/poky-edison-6.0.tar.bz2

If you lose the "www." it should work.

[Rifenbark, Scott M]

This is fixed by removing the "www" and I have pushed to yocto-docs/master and yocto-docs/Edison and published to "latest" and "current" directories on the website (1.2 and 1.1, respectively).
