Please keep in mind that we do value URL stability. Specifically, I've<br>
recently added redirects so that our old ports.php script will now<br>
redirect the various links that are out there on upstream websites to<br>
<a href="http://ports.macports.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ports.macports.org</a>, preserving the search terms where possible:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/macports/macports-www/pull/20" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/macports/macports-www/pull/20</a></blockquote><div> </div><div>Oh, wow. Thank you for this information.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">It would be appreciated if we could keep the existing URL structure for<br>
<a href="http://ports.macports.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ports.macports.org</a> and not yet change it again, but it seems your<br>
changes have modified it.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>While setting the URLs initially I wasn't sure that we would be using the subdomain (<a href="http://ports.macports.org">ports.macports.org</a>), so I had appended every URL with an extra term (port or ports). For example, the category page is located at '/ports/category/<category> [1]. I saw this as an opportunity to drop that extra "ports/" from the URL and use just '/category/<category>' [2] (I just realised that I was using plural categories till now). If this is not a good idea and is discouraged, we can switch back to the old URLs.</div><div><br></div><div>'/search' [3] is a new page with the addition of multiple new filters (compared to just 2 now). This asks for a change to the [case 'library] redirect. If we do not want that too, I can try to accommodate it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://ports.macports.org/ports/category/perl/">https://ports.macports.org/ports/category/perl/</a></div><div>[2] <a href="http://macports.silentfox.tech/category/perl">http://macports.silentfox.tech/category/perl</a></div><div>[3] <a href="http://macports.silentfox.tech/search/">http://macports.silentfox.tech/search/</a></div></div><img width="0" height="0" class="mailtrack-img" alt="" style="display:flex" src="https://mailtrack.io/trace/mail/7ca508acb1eea7ab4f4ac6098959a1df0287db8d.png?u=4480800"></div>
