Re: [Jython-dev] Latest Jython download links

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Ok, sorry for spamming then...

I really thought updating the link should be easy, but if it's not possible
to access the server to update things it can really be annoying.

Hopefully there's at least access to the dns server so that it's possible
to do a wget of the current page and redirect it to a new place -- I have
good experiences using github pages for the pydev.org homepage (with
cloudflare taking care of https), so, I'd recommend going that way..

Cheers,

Fabio
