[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 00/16] Move the Mesa Website to Sphinx

Thu Jun 7 03:42:06 UTC 2018

I see that the theme and logo is now on the test site! All looks good.

As a test, I threw the site at WebSiteTest, Pingdom, GTMetrix and Google
PageSpeed Insights and all came back with great results.

There's a few things like client caching times of static resources like
css/js/tff/woff/etc and Vary: Accept Encoding, but that's usually all
server setup (existing mesa site isn't much better).

Things missing that probably should be addressed:
1. favicon.ico - I can see it in the v2 repo, but looks like it's still not
loading. Not sure what's going on there. Permissions issue (world readable)?
2. _static/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.6.3 seems to fail to load.
Definitely not there at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/ldeks/mesa/tree/website1_75_v2/docs/ which
I'm assuming is the latest update out there?

FWIW: Both of those 404.

Beyond that, I can't see anything that's a showstopper IMO (major or minor).

Guess the main thing now is sorting out the archives/ directory.
