Description

The Quickstart guide link on the top page is a 404 error i can't start learn how to install to use this! :/

Documentation

More information is available in the online documentation including a quickstart guide.

python-for-android is managed by the Kivy team.

The installation method was in the link above Is this what you are referring to? [https://python-for-android.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html] The current link has no .html and does not automatically resolve it I'm browser uses kiwi, Perhaps it's a server-side configuration issue?

same below in section p4a troubleshooting documentation (https://buildozer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) so maybe readthedocs.io's server setting changed?

I was about to post "This is on me. I substantially re-edited the README recently, and I obviously accidentally changed a URL. I accept all the blame."

However, I checked the change logs, and the URL was like that 5 years ago. Wasn't me!

So, now I am leaning towards the @Suletta-Majo's idea that something on the server has changed!?

I'm not familiar with apache etc, but I imagined something like that server's .htaccess file redirect function After all, the behavior of Apache or something has changed, so I thought that the links from Similarly different sites were wrong I'm new to github and just wait for someone to fix it or contact the readthedocs.io admin I'm thinking of closing this place when it's fixed

edited Looking at the footer here, it seems to be developed on github, so I went to see it https://about.readthedocs.com/?ref=readthedocs.org I will attach a link that I think is somehow related from an amateur's point of view https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/10112 According to this, it seems to be something called a Sphinx redirect, and there seem to be a lot of problems issues and pull requests related to redirects

added New improvements to redirects https://blog.readthedocs.com Sphinx HTMLDir -> HTML and Sphinx HTML -> HTMLDir* redirects where renamed to Clean URL to HTML and HTML to Clean URL redirects. These types of redirects are valid for all documentation tools, not just Sphinx. https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-defined-redirects.html#user-defined-redirects https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/redirects.html

I don't even understand what this documentation system is in the first place, so I don't even think about how to fix it
