#12:08:35pinesolNew news from planet: Natural Resources Canada Library Selects Evergreen and Equinox
#12:08:49dmcmorris_es1 has joined #EVERGREEN
#12:10:42dbshey, dmcmorris_esi - think you could point planet.evergreen-ils.org and planet.open-ils.org at 75.127.96.101?
#12:11:06dbsI'll set up the virtualhost directives to respond to those hostnames
#12:17:43dmcmorris_es1dbs: done ;)
#12:18:44dmcmorris_es1also (finally!) threw in the svn.evergreen-ils.org record ;)
#12:20:55dbshttp://planet.evergreen-ils.org/
#12:21:48dbswerks!

#12:25:50dmcmorris_esi has quit IRC
#12:26:22dbsnext steps: adding links to the planet to the appropriate spots, and making the planet theme a little less ugly/barebones
#12:31:52phase_bb has joined #evergreen
#12:38:40pinesolNew news from planet: Program drivers wanted: Why Evergreen, and how do we get there?
#15:20:58dmcmorris_es1 is now known as dmcmorris_esi
#15:47:14phasefx has joined #evergreen
#15:55:27jeffsuggestion for planet: pick one url and make it primary, and re-write the others to that so that it's apparent what the preferred url is?
#15:55:46jeffunless a primary can't be decided upon :)
#15:59:51dbsjeff: hey, that's a good idea. Maybe I could use link rel="canonical" :)
#16:01:18jeffi use two VirtualHost entries, one for the primary and one as the catchall. catchall rewrites to primary, Redirect permanent / http://preferred.example.com
#16:01:39jeffdoesn't even use mod_rewrite (though no reason it couldn't)
#16:02:12dbsjeff: yeah, that's what I would do too
#16:03:14jeffi also log the catchall by itself, so for domains where we care, we can track what's still linking to the "old/non-preferred" domain name, etc, etc.
#16:03:35jeffand really not a true "catchall", here. i'm mis-using that word.
#16:11:38jeffdbs: oh... NOW i see why you were talking about link rel="canonical" :)
#16:12:22dbsredirects in place
#16:12:30dbsjeff++
#16:14:06jeffhey, it's nice to be appreciated, but you're the one who actually DID it :)
#16:19:49dbs has quit IRC
#16:22:07dmcmorris_esibut..but...but...what about those who browse dns-less? :-D
#16:23:30phasefx<soup nazi> no ip for you </soup nazi>
#16:25:14jeffdmcmorris_esi: and what about pre-netscape 0.9N browsers that don't send Host: headers?
#16:26:22phasefxdefault to a page listing the various hostnames with links on how to set up a host file, use dns, etc.
#16:27:28jeff"hi! you seem to be using an old browser that doesn't send Host: headers. please copy and paste the url from your Location bar here, and select Submit, and we'll deliver you to a page that your browser has no hope of rendering!"
#16:27:49phasefxI likes it
#16:28:16jeffyou see, this is actually a problem that i have spent far too much time in the past thinking on.
#16:28:56jeffso, planet.open-ils.org now preferring planet.evergreen-ils.org... what's the idea/plan for #openils-evergreen and #evergreen? :)
#16:29:11dmcmorris_esiooh... HTTP/1.0
#16:29:46dmcmorris_esi(iirc, HTTP/1.1 is where Host: was added) ;)
#16:29:46jeffdmcmorris_esi: shttp:// urls could use PGP for signing and encryption. ;-)
#16:29:53dmcmorris_esioh yeah?
#16:29:55phasefxI say promote one but keep the other around, let them evolve how they will
#16:30:29dmcmorris_esi remembers the old days when there were attempts to differentiate "Open-ILS" and Evergreen
#16:32:30phasefx #gapines is dead.. just me, kados, and pinesol standing guard
#16:33:01dmcmorris_esi can't remember who kados is..
#16:33:07dmcmorris_esioh, nm
