[gdal-dev] Building GDAL documentation with ReadTheDocs

[Javier Jimenez Shaw]

Interesting report from "google search console" I got today. This is just
one example, there are many pages like this one:

Page is not indexed: Duplicate without user-selected canonical
URL: https://proj.org/en/stable/operations/projections/putp6.html (This
page is not indexed. Pages that aren't indexed can't be served on Google)
Google-selected canonical:
https://proj.org/en/9.4/operations/projections/putp6.html
