Description

The message URLs previously at sun.com/msg, and linked to by most FMA messages are now behind the Oracle support paywall.

The data for these messages is in the evreg gate, which was available on dlc.sun.com (and still is). We should adopt this gate and, at least initially, provide a simple mechanism to view these messages on illumos.org somewhere.

I propose a simple CGI based on the internal (er_apache) CGIs as an initial measure, and anything more complex/good to follow.

Sure, attached. It's complete crap.

Bryan was going to dig at this, and either deploy the shoddy script, or come up with an alternative, or something (recalling ancient conversation on IRC in the manner most likely to let me pass the buck).

Wrote a node.js webapp to do this. It's now running.
e.g. https://www.illumos.org/msg/ZFS-8000-8A

I split out the FMA Message ID encode/decode code as a library: node-fmamsg

There are a few more issues to fix (styling, MSGID substitution, etc) but consider these URLs as 'committed' from now.

FYI:

richlowe and I have cleaned up the web application powering the /msg URLs and it's on github here: https://github.com/jclulow/illumos-fmaweb-wip

I'm presently working on a clean diff of illumos-gate to update the URLs, and then trying to find any applicable FMA test code/suites that should run.
