Redirect alpha and hardened channels to dist.tpo rather than aus1.tpo

A few months ago we added the following redirects:

  1. https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update_2/alpha/ --> https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/alpha/
  2. https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/update_2/hardened/ --> https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/hardened/
  3. https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/alpha/ ---> https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/alpha/
  4. https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/hardened/ ---> https://aus1.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/hardened/

Because there is no pinning on aus1.tpo yet, we want to move the alpha and hardened channels URLs back to dist.tpo (like the release channel). The redirects 1. and 2. should be modified to point to https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/alpha/ and https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/update_2/hardened/. The redirects 3. and 4. should be removed.

Currently the xml files are deployed in both locations, so that it continues to work after the redirects are updated:

  • /srv/dist-master.torproject.org/htdocs/torbrowser/update_2/alpha
  • /srv/aus1-master.torproject.org/htdocs/torbrowser/update_2/alpha
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
