Description

The links to osgeo4w-regen.sh and osgeo4w-promote.sh from wiki:PackagingInstructions can be initiated by anonymous users. This opens the door to trivial denial of service attacks as regen in particular consumes server resources. Even if we disregard malicious intent a curious surfer could prematurely promote the setup-test.ini to production.

I changed the links to plain text for the time being so inadvertent use is not possible.
