Block traffic to trac requests asking for already moved services

[robe]

We are still getting a fair amount of traffic for

mapserver gdal grass

Putting in rules, to redirect these to the respective services.

[robe]

So here are the rules I've put in

I think grass wiki is still active, so just blocked any requests starting with:

/grass/tickets /grass/changesets/, /grass/browser, /grass/export, and redirected these to ​https://github.com/osgeo/grass/

For GDAL, that's completely moved, so redirecting anything starting with /gdal to ​https://gdal.org/

Mapserver has also completely moved so redirected that to ​https://mapserver.org

Geos to ​https://libgeos.org

QGIS ​https://qgis.org

Well, that means we have lost access to the old GRASS GIS tickets... Maybe okay but the tickets weren't moved to GitHub and occasionally serve as a reference.

Replying to neteler:

Okay I've removed the restriction on grass, wasn't aware you still referenced them. I suspect it's all bots just crawling them. Would it be okay to disable crawling on those? Though some bots will ignore the request.

Thanks Regina. Surely disabling bots to continue crawling is fine.
