Comment 1 Mikhail Kondratyev 2007-12-11 07:07:05 UTC
The links are broken indeed. Must be fixed ASAP
Rising priority to P1
Comment 2 rbalada 2007-12-13 08:42:30 UTC
Is this really a P1? As far as I can tell it's some five months old daily build from a codeline two releases back. This
property can justify for P3, but certainly not P1. 

Please update justification for P1. See following questions which can help you understand what answers I seek. I don't
need answers for all questions. The more answers you provide, the better justification for P1.

Why it should be P1? 
Where it is linked from?
What products/documents depend on this link?
What is visibility of this issue?
How can website user get to this issue?
What is that special on "five months old daily build from a codeline two releases back", that it got such great attention?


Now comes the workaround:

when you get directed to a file with URL like

http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/download/5_5/daily/200707110000/netbeans-5_5-daily-bin-200707110000-windows-ml_az_cs_de_el_es_fr_in_it_nl_sq_sv_zh_TW-11_Jul_2007_0000.exe

replace substring "download.netbeans.org/netbeans/download" with string "www.netbeans.org/download" and it's very likely
you'll get requested file.

Decreasing priority to P3 as there's no clear justification for P1 at this moment and workaround exists.

>Why it should be P1?
It's my first issue here on NetBeans.org so I'm not the right person to answer this, that's why I left it to its default
(P3) at first.

>Where it is linked from?
1. http://www.netbeans.org/
2. "Download NetBeans IDE 6.0" button
3. "Archive" link (upper right corner)
4. Select NetBeans Version : 5.5, Build type : Daily
5. Any of the download links dated 2007
6. Any of those download links (http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/all.php?b_id=3240&src=1)

>What products/documents depend on this link?
>What is visibility of this issue?
The fact is that wrong links are visible on the website, so I recommend to either fix it or remove it from the entries
in the archive section.

>How can website user get to this issue?
See previous answer.

>What is that special on "five months old daily build from a codeline two releases back", that it got such great attention?
As far as I know, this is the last NetBeans version that supports other languages like French.  However, I did not find
any information clearly indicating that.

>Now comes the workaround: 
Thank you

Removing meaningless "version"s for www issues.
