Subject: [docs] packaging documentation should be removed

docs.python.org/dev still carries documentation for packaging, despite the package
having been removed. http://docs.python.org/dev/library/packaging.html has
"3.3.0a4 Documentation" in the footer, so I presume that the page is a leftover.
Google returns results which point to the obsolete page, which is misleading.

(from http://mail.python.org/pipermail/docs/2012-September/010519.html )

Should be fixed now. The daily builds are just copied over to /dev, so removed pages don't get removed automatically.

I could add an "rm -r" to the dailybuild steps, but that would cause a few moments of missing pages for everyone browsing /dev at that moment.

[cjerdonek]

Thanks a lot, Georg.

FYI, though, the page linked to in the original e-mail still seems to show up for me:

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/packaging.html

Is this change something that won't necessarily take effect right away?

[birkenfeld]

Ah yes, I missed those as well.
