[Bug 1065789] Re: release notes link in installer points to www.ubuntu.com

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

The URL is taken from the .disk/release_notes_url from the ISO image.
Then language is substituted into it.
Currently (and have been for the whole cycle) the URLs redirect to ubuntu.com homepage for 12.10 version.
Changing the version to 12.04 redirects to the correct release notes.
You can test the current URL:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes?os=ubuntu&ver=12.10&lang=en

If it is time to make the link work, please contact the ubuntu website
team to add a new symlink.

Title:
  release notes link in installer points to www.ubuntu.com

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Quantal:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This could actually be a Ubuntu Website bug, but when I click the
  release notes link from the installer, I get a web browser opened to
  www.ubuntu.com.  It's equally possible that it could be trying to open
  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes?os=ubuntu&ver=12.10&lang=en
  which also gets quickly redirected to www.ubuntu.com.
