Not yet.

Or rather, they would only apply to http(s)://incubator.apache.org/sirona/* I don't think that would do any harm, but the original website was http(s)://sirona.apache.org/ so they would not be particularly useful. > If possible I think that the whole set of graduated and retired .htaccess > could be generated. Not sure it's worth the effort of coding, testing and maintaining such a generator. Changes are not that frequent, and are pretty easy to do by reference to an existing entry. In any case, I don't think there will be (m)any more changes to [1] -- podling redirects will have to be made elsewhere. When current podlings retire, the htaccess entry has to be made in the podling website. However if Infra apply the PR, redirects can be enabled simply by setting up the retired/<podling> marker directory. > [1] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/incubator/master/assets/.htaccess > > All The Best, > Dave > > > > > Regards, > > Dave > > > >> > >> Simples. > >> > >> Sebb. > >> P.S.
