Re: [Jython-dev] Website - Archived versions

[James M. <jam...@gm...>]

I have now transferred the archived old sites to a new Jython repository
https://github.com/jython/jython-old-sites which I have archived.

I have also merged a PR https://github.com/jython/jython.github.io/pull/4
which points the links on the new site to the new location of the old sites.

The 404 you mentioned I think happened as I transferred the repository. The
version on my personal Github no longer exists?

If you find more 404s now though let me know and i will look into it.

Thanks

James
