Plan for missing Install Guide?
Various websites (e.g. the various Spins downloads pages link to the Install Guide, which doesn't exist for F37. Is there a plan to have a generic landing page to catch those links, or do we need to comb the websites to find and replace the URLs? (And if the latter, where should they point?)

I suggest, we use the alias functionality to redirect those links to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/getting-started/

This impacted Silverblue as well: https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/silverblue-site/pull/121
We're now linking to https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/preparing-boot-media/, which is no longer a referenced page since d756da72
Should we use https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-and-using-a-live-installation-image/ instead? It does not have the exact same content.
Edited by Timothée RavierBasically,you can do either. We will not delete the "preparing-boot-media" but update the text and reintegrate it into the navigation tree, hopefully with F38. We commented it out because of some people had concerns regarding the media writer software (whether it will continue to be maintained).
Furthermore, we have to review the QuickDoc page, too. It is currently in a non-recommendable and rather confusing state, IMHO.
I would recommend, to keep the reference as is. And it would be helpful if you would review its content and probably create a ticket what we can do to improve it.

The verify your download instructions for the latest KDE spin (and most likely all Spins downloads) point to the wrong location for the gpg key. Also you have to dearmor the gpg key before you can import it due to binary encoding of the file. You also cannot download the checksum file due to the same issue of it not being located in the same place any more, the checksum is now located at https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/38/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM

The verify links are all incorrect on spins.fedoraproject.org.
i.e. https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/download/index.html clicking "verify your download" results in:
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/download/kde-download-splash?file=https://spins.fedoraproject.org/verify ... which doesn't download anything.
And on the https://spins.fedoraproject.org/verify page it links to https://getfedora.org/static/checksums/38/iso/Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM which is a 404 when redirected to fp.o https://fedoraproject.org/static/checksums/38/iso/Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM
issue was reported 5 months ago: https://pagure.io/fedora-websites/issue/1174
can someone explain how this is related to "Plan for missing Install Guide"?
can we not just define the path the checksum in the download.vue file to /$(dlpath}/filename? here is the checksum snippet.
// for checksums const dlpath = { x86_64: "https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases", aarch64: "https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases", s390x: "https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases", ppc64le: "https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases", }; function updateVerify(art) { console.log(art); verifyModal.value.art_name = art.path.substring( art.path.lastIndexOf("/") + 1 ); let path = art.path.substring(0, art.path.lastIndexOf("/")); if (betaSwitch.value) { // Beta verifyModal.value.chk_name = `Fedora-Spins-${release_data._value.beta.releasever}_Beta-${release_data._value.beta.rc_version}-${art.arch}-CHECKSUM`; // Fedora-Workstation-37_Beta-1.5-x86_64-CHECKSUM verifyModal.value.checksum = `${dlpath[art.arch]}/test/${ release_data._value.beta.releasever }_Beta/${path}/${verifyModal.value.chk_name}`; } else { verifyModal.value.chk_name = `Fedora-Spins-${release_data._value.ga.releasever}-${release_data._value.ga.rc_version}-${art.arch}-CHECKSUM`; // Fedora-Server-37-1.7-x86_64-CHECKSUM verifyModal.value.checksum = `${dlpath[art.arch]}/${ release_data._value.ga.releasever }/${path}/${verifyModal.value.chk_name}`; } if (document) { document.body.classList.add("has-modal"); } verifyModal.value.show = true;

https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/download/kde-download-splash?file=https://spins.fedoraproject.org/verify still doesn't work (maybe it shouldn't?)
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/verify now has a valid download link (https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/38/Spins/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Spins-38-1.6-x86_64-CHECKSUM) for the checksum file, but the instructions still fail:
curl -Lvso /dev/null https://getfedora.org/static/fedora.gpg
Thanks for the quick fix.
