Bug Description
Kiko asks for a pad.lv abbreviation for project download files:
19:55 <kiko> poolie, I was wondering if you'd like to do a pad.lv shortener for download URLs
19:55 <poolie> good idea
19:56 <kiko> I wanted to use them for the component announcements we are doing
19:56 <kiko> poolie, example URL https:/
19:56 <kiko> poolie, not sure exactly how to shorten, though :)
19:57 <poolie> indeed
19:57 <poolie> only the launchpad.net and +download bits seem trivially redundant
19:58 <poolie> imbni launcphad itself had something like
19:58 <poolie> lp.net/
19:58 <poolie> assuming it was ok to constrain filenames to be unique across all releases
19:58 <kiko> poolie, that would definitely be nice
19:59 <kiko> pad.lv/
19:59 <kiko> of course, that's asking a lot
19:59 <kiko> so just below that
19:59 <kiko> pad.lv/
20:00 <kiko> sinzui, we can't actually do that, can we?
20:00 <poolie> at the moment it just does url redirects without talking to lp's api
20:01 <poolie> eventually it would be nice to do more of this in lp itself but updating a rewrite map on my own machine is about a million times easier
