Re: Google displays 2.9 doc

[Bertalan Fodor (LilyPondTool)]

I don't think that google cares about that version string. I propose this instead in robots.txt (generated using google webmasters tools - a must-have)

User-agent: *
Disallow: /doc/v2.4/
Disallow: /doc/v2.5/
Disallow: /doc/v2.11/
Disallow: /doc/v2.3/
Disallow: /doc/v2.1/
Disallow: /doc/v2.10/
Disallow: /doc/v2.0/
Disallow: /doc/v2.2/
Disallow: /doc/v2.8/
Disallow: /doc/v2.7/
Allow: /
Disallow: /doc/v2.6/
Disallow: /doc/v2.9/
Disallow: /doc/v1.8/
Disallow: /doc/v1.7/
Disallow: /doc/v1.6/
Disallow: /doc/v1.9/

can something be done to make Google display latest doc and not 2.9?
        

It's a known bug in the issue tracker.  Patches appreciated.
      

Apparently the +v2.12 has been removed again.  It is still present in
some of the language directories.
    

That'll only fix the google search from our site.  If you go to
google.com and search for "lilypond repeat" (random example), v2.9
is the first one that comes up.

I *think* that we can add something to robots.txt to tell google
to stop looking in v2.9  (hmm, maybe it thinks that v2.9 is higher
than v2.12 ?), but I'd need to spend a few minutes looking it up,
and this is really far down on the priority list.
