@mcepl why do we need this? |
|
Because on 2025-08-25 all those links you have in your code (and somebody supposedly put them for a purpose) will lead to “No server found” error. |
lets use https://tinyurl.com/ |
|
I just don’t use shorteners any more if at all possible (that's what I did in most my submissions like this; I did more of them yesterday; yes, there are some URLs which are just impossible to use in full length, but none of them in pgadmin4). https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI (check the copyright date of that page), and every shortener is an implied code debt, something which you have to check and follow whether it is not broken. |
The link which you updated fails the PEP8 checks and we cannot break links to multi lines. |
|
Just do whatever you want to do with this PR: change it, reject it, modify it, whatever. I off to do something more useful. |
I would like to merge it definitely - but the pep8 check (python linter) is failing. I can't merge if this is not fixed unfortunately. |
|
Just use tinyurl @adityatoshniwal. It's only one URL after all. Thank you for the PR @mcepl . |
