= phenomenon = The line-number links seem to be broken in fedorahosted's gitweb code viewer.
For example, the line numbers here: {{{ http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=OpenVideoChat.git;a=blob;f=OpenVideoChat.activity/ovc.py;h=f6938c853307699ccd72a93c5558d08bb994a68a;hb=HEAD }}} contain links that look like: {{{ http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi#l14 }}}
So links of interest:
Debian bug report showing the same problem: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573423
Patch that appears to fix it: http://www.mentby.com/petr-baudis/patch-gitweb-fix-blob-linenr-links-in-pathinfo-mode.html
Notice that the changelog reports this being fixed in 1.6.5.3 (hosted is currently on 1.5.5.6-4)
We could talk to the epel maintainer and see if we can get that patch backported in. Mind you - this might be a completely different problem, but it seems remarkably similiar if not.
hmmm actually ignore that - pathinfo appears to be turned off in our instance.
We are up to 1.7.4 now, and the links look better to me now, but they don't appear to do anything, just reload the file. I assume they should move the browser to that exact line?
The line-number links work for me.
Ok, so this apparently doesn't work as expected on midori/WebKit
Line number links work fine in firefox and chromium, so this is looking like a midori bug. Kevin said he will notify upstream.
