Subject: Sorting by columns broken on NonGNU/GNU ELPA web pages
Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2021 23:09:43 -0700

Severity: minor

We used to have the capability to sort by columns on the NonGNU/GNU ELPA
web pages:

    https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/

But now it seems broken.  The JavaScript that ran this is still in the
HTML header of that page:

        <script src="../javascript/jquery.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="../javascript/jquery.filtertable.min.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
        <script src="../javascript/package-search.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

But the URL's themselves give 404:

    ~ $ curl https://elpa.gnu.org/javascript/jquery.min.js
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
    <html><head>
    <title>404 Not Found</title>
    </head><body>
    <h1>Not Found</h1>
    <p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
    <hr>
    <address>Apache/2.4.48 (Debian) Server at elpa.gnu.org Port 443</address>
    </body></html>
    ~ $ curl https://elpa.gnu.org/javascript/jquery.filtertable.min.js
    [same as above]
    ~ $ curl https://elpa.gnu.org/javascript/package-search.js
    [same as above]

So I guess the JavaScript directory for some reason is no longer where
it should be.

Somehow a /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/javascript-common.conf
symlink appeared which redirected /javascript to some other directory.
I believe it's been restored now,

Thanks, the JavaScript seems to have been restored correctly on both
elpa.gnu.org and elpa.nongnu.org.

But sorting by column is still not working, so I guess that was just
me misremembering (a.k.a. "wishful thinking").

I'm not 100% sure, but I think so, indeed.  Especially since the data
currently present in the "other columns" (version number and
description) doesn't lend itself to useful sorting, IMO.
If/when we add some kind of popularity info, this may change, tho.
