Description
Some websites relying on GCWeb theme broke as asset URLs such as https://wet-boew.github.io/themes-dist/GCWeb/css/theme.min.css went offline (404), see wet-boew/GCWeb#1792
Despite my comment there, in retrospect, I think the real issue is with wet-boew/gcweb-jekyll assuming the GCWeb theme asset files are https://wet-boew.github.io/themes-dist are public and permanent, when in fact they are not.
Setting assets: "https://wet-boew.github.io/themes-dist" in _config.yml, as what is done currently (see https://github.com/wet-boew/gcweb-jekyll/blob/master/_config.yml#L65), is very convenient, and eliminates the need for gcweb-jekyll to pull these files from wet-boew/GCWeb etc., but as today's breakage shows, seems rather unreliable.
Perhaps having these assets stored on the same server of end users' web sites would be a better idea? Or perhaps have those assets stored, with a versioned path, on a CDN for posterity, like how jQuery, Bootstrap etc.?
