In this forum you can write about anything that does not fit in other forums.
This includes generic Oric talkings and things that are totaly unrelated but want to share with people here :)

Ah, OK, I think I remember now you published the account of your woes with that motherboard on Twitter and we had an exchange about it...

Fair enough then, RIP Miniserve and let's track any URLs that need updating...

Is it feasible with BBEdit to run a query on the database to locate the posts containing some aprticular text ? (in this cas, the URL) then maybe directly correct the URLs in the database or by editing posts ?

On my side I'll have a go at trying to locate any posts on the old oric.forumactif.org site where there are any references that need updating then add a comment with the corrected URL (no way to access the database on this site I believe).

EDIT: actually the trouble with the URL you mentioned in your post on the FlashFloppy DSK feature request issue is that it used the "miniserve" subdomain (http://miniserve.defence-force.org). Conversely, from your initial post here on the subject of moving to OSDN.net, you updated http://svn.defence-force.org to point to the svn source repository, so I supose that any links using the "svn" subdomain should be correctly forwarded?

Just FYI, as for forumactif.oric.org, a simple "miniserve site:oric.forumactif.org" Google query (https://www.google.com/search?q=miniser ... mactif.org) allowed me to identify 9 posts using URLs with this subdomain, so if I add comments to these posts with the correct URLs I think we will have this site covered!

EDIT: well, it doesn't look as easy as I firt thought:
Trying to correct http://miniserve.defence-force.org/svn/ ... 7/Sources/ to http://svn.defence-force.org/svn/users/ ... 7/Sources/ doesn't work: while it gets automatically redirected to https://osdn.net/projects/oricsdk/scm/s ... 7/Sources/ , it does give an "Invalid action" error, the target path must be incorrect / non-existing I believe.

EDIT2: ok, cracked it:
The http://svn.defence-force.org/svn/ redirection to https://osdn.net/projects/oricsdk/scm/svn/svn is incorrect, it should redirect to https://osdn.net/projects/oricsdk/scm/svn/tree/head/ .
So in my example, http://svn.defence-force.org/svn/users/ ... 7/Sources/ should redirect to https://osdn.net/projects/oricsdk/scm/s ... 7/Sources/ which is indeed the valid target URL.

Well, there are two redirects for the svn server, they've been there for a few months already, but I did not have the time to tell you since you started digging before I could answer ;)

If you look at https://osdk.org/index.php?page=documen ... ge=samples you'll notice that all the samples are pointing to "svnhead", not "svn"

http://svn.defence-force.org points to the root of the SVN page with all the revisions, members, etc... it's not for the links into the repository, and then we have "svnhead" which points to the "head" revision, like for example:
- http://svnhead.defence-force.org/public ... llo_world/
- http://svnhead.defence-force.org/users/ ... 7/Sources/

Ah, thanks for these explanations !

Actually, digging a little deeper, I found out that by replacing "svn" by "tree/head" in the URL it worked:
E.g: http://svn.defence-force.org/tree/head/ ... 7/Sources/ works and redirects to the correct target URL.

However, I will follow your directions and use the "svnhead" subdomain and specify the new URLs like http://svnhead.defence-force.org/users/ ... 7/Sources/ in this example.
