#1201 Spins downloads pages are referencing the wrong arm download locations
Closed: complete by darknao. Opened by bcotton.

(originally opened by @pbrobinson as fedora-web/websites#293)

All the spins that support aarch64 should have a link directly on the main downloads page and not make users click through to other downloads pages.

In a lot of cases they even reference the now obsolete arm.fp.o page or even ARMv7 images which are now EOL.

Aarch64 is a primary architecture, the downloads are supposed to be alongside their x86_64 counterparts like on the Workstation page:
https://fedoraproject.org/workstation/download/

What is worse we're getting support queries and complaints that people can't find the latest release!

Examples of incorrect cases:
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/sway/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/i3/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/lxde/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/cinnamon/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/mate-compiz/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/lxqt/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/xfce/download/index.html
https://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/download/index.html


These spin sites should all get updated and brought into fedoraproject.org for F39.

Maybe the easiest fix right now is to update https://arm.fedoraproject.org/ with F38?

darknao and I were discussing this in chat earlier today. One option is to start redirecting specific spins to the new site as they are added instead of waiting to pull the curtain back all at once for F39.

Next week I'll have some time to start adding the aarch64 images to spins as a stop gap. Updating arm.fp.o is the wrong approach, IMO, because that was built for armv7 which will not be in any supported releases come mid-May. It'd be better to put effort into adding aarch64 into the spins site than to put effort into updating a separate site that we'd rather just make go away.

Instead of fixing the old pages, we can now just link to the new spin pages that are already on the new main site (kde, phosh, budgie and sway), or to the download page (https://fedoraproject.org/spins/<spin_name>/download/) if the landing page doesn't exist yet.

arm.fp.o should just go away, it was purely for arm32 and just causes constant confusion, we should have all aarch64 images alongside x86_64 as aarch64 is a first class citizen, please treat it as such.

so basically, we just need spin info & downloads pages (a the very least download pages) with ARM links for the following spins:

  • Cinnamon Desktop
  • Mate-Compiz Desktop
  • i3 Tiling WM
  • LXQT Desktop
  • LXDE Desktop

then we can get rid of spins.fp.o with all the old arm links that go everywhere??

The list up the top in the original post need links I believe, eg SoaS also at a quick check.

arm.fp.o can go now as it was purely arm32 and that's EOL with F-36

They are all up on the new websites (just not advertised anywhere yet):
