--- Comment #3 from Petr Bokoc <pbokoc(a)redhat.com> ---
Hello,
Yes, I see similar results in Google, "list+of+files+in+RPM+package" is in 5th
place in a private window, not first, but it's still the top hit for docs.fp.o.
We've had this kind of problem before, although this is the first time I see
Google prioritizing Romanian over English, previous reports were only about
landing at outdated but still English docs.
This is kind of a long running problem with no easy solutions besides just
removing old docs altogether. Good point with the Internet Archive; I actually
never thought of that.
Docs for Fedora up to version 26 were built using an old system which is
unmaintained, and the way it worked actually prevents us from making *any*
updates other than running a script to insert something into each page.
Basically we can't rebuild the site, we can only edit the built sources; the
reasons for that are complicated. I do think we might be able to fix the
headers, though, and I think we should try to find a way to insert a big red
banner into each page saying "this is really outdated, go to docs.fp.o". I
don't think noting the version in the page title would be enough because
neither mobile Firefox nor Chrome display the page title as you browse, only in
the tab list...
Anyway, for 27 and later, on our new system, we have more control over the
content and we could probably handle this properly with a separate UI layout
for EOLed versions that has a similar banner.
The problem is that the person who does the most work on the site and who could
fix this the easiest is only rarely available to take on a bigger task like
this one, so it's stalled. I'll talk to him and see if we can get this done in
some reasonable timeframe. I absolutely agree that it's a problem.
Oh and the open issues are here:
*
https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/docs-fp-o/issue/118 (for pre-27 docs)
*
https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/docs-fp-o/issue/116 (27 and later)
I linked your bug report in the pre-27 one and I'll close this if you don't
mind, we're using Pagure issues nowadays. (Closing down the whole Fedora Docs
product category here in Bugzilla is also something I should get around to
soon...)
Cheers,
Petr
