Thank you.

Perhaps the old url's should redirect to the new one?

For instance, (old) things like:

 www.zytor.com/pipermail/syslinux-commits/ 

or similar (or "deeper" paths) should perhaps be redirected instead of 
giving 404's?


Additionally, I think it would be welcomed to have the "syslinux" and 
"syslinux-commits" mailing lists actually listed (i.e. present in the 
page) at

 https://lists.zytor.com/ 

as they used to be listed at the old url.


IIRC, the emails in the "syslinux-commits" list are generated from the 
commits in:

 git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/ 

which has been now updated to reflect recent commits. That's great, 
thank you. One small detail: instead of having "The Syslinux Project" 
(or similar) as value in its "Description" field, it has somehow 
reverted to:

 "Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the 
repository."

I also noticed that I'll have to keep wondering about the reasons 
(and/or goals) for changing the mailing list address (considering that 
it all depends on the zytor server anyway).


Thank you and Best Regards,
Ady.
