To: gdb-patches
Here's the patch I came up with for converting the gdb web pages to git.
Much of this is boilerplate from re-running index.sh.
Let me know what you think. As I explained on the binutils list, the
goal of sending these patches early is to get all the issues worked out
so that the actual switch can proceed as smoothly as possible.
I vaguely remember that there is some other crucial step after
committing, maybe in order to push the changes to the FSF? I don't
remember any details about it; so if you know, please respond.
Tom

Yes. Committing to the sourceware CVS automatically gets the sourceware
web pages updated, but then we need to push the same change to the CVS
at savannah. I've been doing that by maintaining a git mirror of the CVS
repo, and cvsexportcommit'ing to both CVS. I can take care of that part.

I'm sure you've thought of that, but I'm curious.
Is there any hope in converting those repos away from CVS too at some
point? With git (or any DCVS), it sounds like savannah's could just be
a clone of sourceware's...

I confess that I never really took any time considering the various
options for conversion. I update the web sites so seldomly, and
the CVS-git bridge has been working well enough, so I did not feel
it was worth much or our time. That being said, I'd be happy to get
rid of CVS there as well, if that was deemed important.

Ack. I'll admit that my curiosity stems from the fact that
I've myself considered tweaking the web pages before, but never
managed to get myself over the fact that that would involve
another cvs checkout. :-) I'll admit it sounds silly for
someone who's been using cvs day in, day out. Maybe that's
just my unconscious telling me to avoid touching html. :-)

My semi-baked plan for the web site redesign, as seen at
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/WebsiteRedesign
includes a git migration.

Last time I looked/asked, the software packages' pages below www.gnu.org
could only be accessed via CVS. (So, for the Hurd I'm also doing this
"[generate HTML files] -> check into CVS dance".)

Interesting plan!
One of my complaints about the current website is that it's really
obscure which version of the GDB documentation is available where,
and whether we (the developers) would prefer you to look at the
documentation from a release, or from the HEAD. I would really like
to move towards something similar to what GCC does, which is very
neat and clear. I believe Pedro expressed the same opinion as well.
It's on my plate, and may be one of the things I might work on during
the holiday period, once we've switched the sources to git.
Regarding the migration to git, I'm all for it, but someone just
said that the website administration on the GNU side is all CVS
based?

As a somewhat related, general remark: It would be nice if GDB documentation
tagged new features with the version in which they are first implemented.
From a frontend developer's point of view the decision which feature should
to be supported is often driven by what version of GDB common distributions
ship. Having a feature tagged as "new and officially supported in version
x.y.z" is a more robust approach than trying to deduce "official" blessing
from change logs, patches, and NEWS entries.
