#15514: Older Trac ticket links redirect to this site, but not to the specific ticket -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ChaiTRex | Owner: hvr Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Trac & Git | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Description changed by ChaiTRex: Old description:

== Current behavior ==

An old ticket link is redirected to this new site, just not to the actual ticket, so some form of redirection is configured:

|| ||= old link =||= redirects to =|| ||= HTTP =|| http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/698 || https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc || ||= HTTPS =|| https://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/698 || https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc ||

== Desired outcome ==

An old ticket link should redirect to the actual ticket:

|| ||= old link =||= redirects to =|| ||= HTTP =|| http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/698 || https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/698 || ||= HTTPS =|| https://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/698 || https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/698 ||

It would be nice if the user experience upon clicking one of the old links was much better. -- -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15514#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
