Hi,
I've wrote about this earlier I guess, but I believe I need to do it once more. Often I see in the docs things like this:
.. image:: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/badges/<FOO>.svg :target: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/tags/index.html
[note: this is only one simple example, there's many of other types linking to external images, I've even seen stuff linking to CDNs...]
I'd like to see these go away. Indeed, distributions like mine (ie: Debian) are packaging the doc. And it's *very* annoying when one browses the doc to have such an external link, and the browser going on the internet to fetch an external resource.
So, in Debian, I'm patching these away. Often, the most ugly way where I don't care about the resulting document (as long as the doc is there). This is both annoying, and a loss of my time.
The solution is simple: have the resource being *LOCAL* (ie: stored in the project's doc), not stored on an external site.
Thanks to anyone who will follow this advice.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
