Merge branch 'js/update-urls-in-doc-and-comment' into maint-2.43

2024-02-09T00:22:01Z

Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links. * js/update-urls-in-doc-and-comment: doc: refer to internet archive doc: update links for andre-simon.de doc: switch links to https doc: update links to current pages

doc: refer to internet archive

2023-11-26T01:07:06Z

These pages are no longer reachable from their original locations, which makes things difficult for readers. Instead, switch to linking to the Internet Archive for the content. Signed-off-by: Josh Soref Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: update links for andre-simon.de

2023-11-26T01:07:05Z

Beyond the fact that it's somewhat traditional to respect sites' self-identification, it's helpful for links to point to the things that people expect them to reference. Here that means linking to specific pages instead of a domain. Signed-off-by: Josh Soref Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: switch links to https

2023-11-26T01:07:05Z

These sites offer https versions of their content. Using the https versions provides some protection for users. Signed-off-by: Josh Soref Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: update links to current pages

perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8.1 from 5.8.0

2023-11-16T22:26:32Z

The following commit will make use of a Getopt::Long feature which is only present in Perl >= 5.8.1. Document that as the minimum version we support. Many of our Perl scripts will continue to run with 5.8.0 but this change allows us to adjust them as needed without breaking any promises to our users. The Perl requirement was last changed in d48b284183 (perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21], 2010-09-24). At that time, 5.8.0 was 8 years old. It is now over 21 years old.

Merge branch 'jr/gitweb-title-shortening'

2022-08-05T22:52:14Z

Gitweb had legacy URL shortener that is specific to the way projects hosted on kernel.org used to (but no longer) work, which has been removed. * jr/gitweb-title-shortening: gitweb: remove title shortening heuristics

gitweb: remove title shortening heuristics

2022-07-27T06:33:17Z

Those heuristics are way outdated and too specific to the kernel project to be useful outside of kernel.org. Since kernel.org doesn't use gitweb anymore and at least one project complained about incorrect behavior, entirely remove them. Signed-off-by: Julien Rouhaud Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'ab/build-gitweb'

2022-07-18T20:31:55Z

Teach "make all" to build gitweb as well. * ab/build-gitweb: gitweb/Makefile: add a "NO_GITWEB" parameter Makefile: build 'gitweb' in the default target gitweb/Makefile: include in top-level Makefile gitweb: remove "test" and "test-installed" targets gitweb/Makefile: prepare to merge into top-level Makefile gitweb/Makefile: clear up and de-duplicate the gitweb.{css,js} vars gitweb/Makefile: add a $(GITWEB_ALL) variable gitweb/Makefile: define all .PHONY prerequisites inline

gitweb/Makefile: add a "NO_GITWEB" parameter

2022-06-28T20:20:05Z

From looking at the {Free,Net,Dragonfly}BSD packages for git[1] they've been monkeypatching "gitweb" out of the Makefile, let's be nicer and provide a NO_GITWEB=Y for their use. For the "all" target this allows for optionally restoring what's been the status quo before the preceding commit, but now we'll also behave correctly on the subsequent "make install". As before our installation of gitweb can be suppressed with NO_PERL. For backwards compatibility the NO_PERL=Y flag by itself still doesn't change whether or not we build gitweb, unlike the new NO_GITWEB=Y flag.
