Trusty Legal link failure

[Martin Dixon]

cross reference Question #238281 in trusty-build-html footer in unity-introduction.page legal link (see Legal for details) fails (both the others work) is this reasonable?

the common footer to all pages contains a link to Legal which returns File not found

The Google Ubuntu Doc Review lists legal.html as No Changes expected for 14.04

I would expect it to point at https://help.ubuntu.com/legal.html

the other two footer links work

Martin: It is not clear to me what the issue is. Please give us some more detail.

I suspect the following: You have built your own local copy of the Ubuntu DeskTop help html, as per the instructions given on the docs e-mail list yesterday. And you are clicking on the legal link on the footer of your local copy. If that is correct, then yes, you will get a file not found error. Why? because the link assumes the root page, i.e. the link is not relative but rather absolute to the root page.

Additionally, and perhaps more important, the file legal.html is not part of ubuntu-docs and so will not even be present on a locally built html version of ubuntu-docs. It is only present when the whole thing is put together for help.ubuntu.com.
In my case I have a complete copy of ubuntu.help.com on my test server, but the link to legal.html doesn't work for the reasons given in my previous post. There is no good reason for the link to legal.html to be absolute and I might change it to relative in both the DeskTop help and the serverguide.

Doug. You suspect right - the html docs are in my local Documents directory. I recomend the bug is closed. Martin
