#24901 [NEW]: Remove mirrors of PHP website from google to make finding solutions easier

From: webmaster at geog dot cam dot ac dot uk Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Remove mirrors of PHP website from google to make finding solutions easier Description: ------------ Can consideration be given to putting a robots.txt containing User-agent: * Disallow: / for mirrors of the PHP website? I.e. only php.net would not disallow google in. It is very annoying when using google/whatever to find a solution to a problem to be confronted with continual multiple copies of the same thing. Given that the main www.php.net has redirections to local mirrors installed, google searching will take people to the local mirror anyway. Presumably this would take a while to filter through to all the mirrors. There might be an issue with using site:[mirrorname] [searchterms] but this would be outweighed by not having to plough through multiple copies (many of which are out of date) of the PHP documentation. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24901&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24901&r=gnused
