[Roel De Coninck (3E)]

Dear,

Many links on http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/  are broken (like ‘install msysGit’, ‘update msysGit’ , ‘future plans’, ...)

Roel

This is simply because they point to the wiki hosted on kernel.org, which is down for maintenance after a security breach. There's nothing we can do except to wait for it to come back up...

As Erik pointed out, the links are not "broken", it is just that you need
to use the Google cache (Chrome will offer that if the site timed
out) while waiting for The Real Thing to Come Up Again.

Hth,

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. 

I didn't get the point about google cache though ... (yes, I use chrome)

Anyway: is it normal that it takes so long?  I still get the same error message when I click on any of those links. 

Regards,

Roel

I take the "Hi all" as a sign that this was intended for the mailing
list, and the "reply" vs "reply all" was a slip-up. Corrected ;)

Not quite. It seems they simply uploaded a static dump of all pages,
without the wiki-features.

I think that's time wasted, as it's likely to be fixed at some point
and then we'll have to go back and re-fix it. But if someone is eager,
I won't object ;)
