README points to non-existent URL

[Markus Ueberall]

/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-fan/README.gz (ubuntu-fan/README) reads:

"More information on the Fan, including more detailed configuration
information, can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/fan."

However, the aforementioned URL (with and without trailing dot) does not exist.
Is this supposed to point to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FanNetworking instead?

Link changed to the proposed wiki. pbuilder succeeded, README updated.

The attachment "1-0.12.16ubuntu1.debdiff" seems to be a debdiff. The ubuntu-sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. If the attachment isn't a patch, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are member of the ~ubuntu-sponsors, unsubscribe the team.

Thank you for the patch.

I do not know what content this was intended to point to, but we should not do Stable Release Updates of a package just to fix a broken link in the documentation - instead, particularly since we have control over the domain it points to, we should fix it so that the link is not a 404. Adding a task on the ubuntu-website project for this.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160815000000*/http://www.ubuntu.com/fan is no help here wrt the question of what the content is supposed to be, as it seems to find only 404s at that URL.

So I think the best path forward is:
- make https://www.ubuntu.com/fan a redirect to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FanNetworking
- update the ubuntu-fan package in the devel series so that the https://www.ubuntu.com/fan can eventually be deprecated

But I'll wait until I get feedback from the web team before making the second change.

I'm also subscribing Andy Whitcroft, who is listed as the maintainer of the ubuntu-fan package, for any additional context.

In the meantime, I am unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors; based on the above there is currently nothing to be uploaded.

Correction, not opening a task on the ubuntu-website project which is evidently obsolete.
 Opened a github issue instead: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu.com/issues/12927
