[Webteam] box2 process terminated for old homepage

[Chris Cunnington]

I went into box2 and killed the old homepage image. You can see the line that was the process here [1].
This also involved deleting the symlink as well. [2] The service directory in /home/website is now gone as well.

The wildcard DNS routes unknown subdomain requests to some daemontools service for looking at old mailing lists. I don't think it's a process.
It's some kind of cgi-bin thing. Check it out:

http://foobar.squeak.org

Deleting symlinks and service directories is a tad barbaric. I'm getting under svc -d /service/fooservice and such to stop services instead.
But this is a sunset box. By St. Patrick's Day next year, it will be gone.

May we please retain the old site a while longer (at some different
url or even IP is fine)? I would like to actually finally _read_ it
all the way, but it disappeared before I had a chance.

Thanks.

Read it on your computer in localhost [1].

I don't think there's any really need to be sentimental about the old site.
I killed the process to use the cycles for productive processes.
But, hey, the Board meeting's tomorrow and you can table something.

Hey Chris, I know everyone appreciates the work you did on the new
site and I'm glad you had free-reign to make it good without a lot of
overhead. Going forward, could you possibly take a more conservative
tact esp. w.r.t. moving, killing and deleting long-running stuff?
Maybe a little notice to the community, or at least leaving yourself
in a position to reverse your actions in case there might be a
community need for some file before you unilaterally zap it into
oblivion?

Look to how Ken would have handled such a thing, or how David Lewis
handled the transition of squeaksource.com, or how I tried to handle
the 4.5 release -- by being slow, methodical, and involving the
community.

Thanks.

I think you're right. I'll do that.
