i'd like to start a sim landing page for the sim project at
https://sourceware.org/sim/
i'm not sure how to actually do this, but i assume someone here knows
the answer :).

May I ask why? Is there talk of separating it from gdb or something?

the sim code has always been buildable & usable independent of gdb. there
are no requirements in the sim code on gdb. it can be built & released
independent too. there are no plans currently to do independent releases,
but there is need for hosting of sim-specific documentation (e.g. manual).

How about just using the gdb docs/wiki until that hypothetical time
when it is released independently? It'd simplify configuration, and
avoid having to deal with yet another set of admin ACLs & repos.

i am using the wiki, but that's not good (if even possible) for hosting manuals
or providing a homepage to anchor info.
the gdb folks have been moving to disconnect the sim from itself more.
the sim project has always had a separate list of maintainers.
i don't see why we need to create a separate tarball just to get access to
web hosting. although the logic is, and always has been, in the tree to
easily create a dedicated sim release.

The wiki probably isn't a good place, but you can simply create a
subpage under sourceware.org/gdb/sim through cvs as described under
webpages: https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current/
It isn't that we don't want to create a new groups cvs/git repo for you
to maintain sim documentation, but it is extra work and if it can
simply be done as part of the gdb project resources that saves some
time for everybody.
And maybe if it is a pain for you to maintain the sim webpages as part
of gdb, then maybe it is a pain for all of gdb and maybe we should
focus on improving that for everybody.
Cheers,
Mark

i can start the skeleton under gdb and see how it works. except:
cvs add: cannot mkdir /cvs/gdb/htdocs/sim: Permission denied

also, if i'm reading the sources correctly, the gdb manual is not stored in
the gdb cvs tree, but is uploaded manually via scp to the gdbadmin acct.
which i'm pretty sure i wouldn't have access to.
so are you proposing adding me to the gdb ACLs ?

Maybe. I assumed every committer would (technically) be able to update
the website, I think it would be good to discusss with the other gdb
maintainers. It seems the current setup, how and who can update the
gdb website pages, isn't fully documented.

Mark

i mean, i don't want these perms. i want hosting for the sim project.
but i guess i can cc a random selection of global gdb maintainers.

Joel I think would be the best person to ask about how the GDB website setup works.
I've never touched it myself, so all I learned last time I asked about it, I've since forgot. :-)
Thus, adding Joel.

I see some head shaking in my future...
The GDB website is under CVS, and there are two copies.
- One is hosted on GNU Savannah
https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gdb
This is the source of the website that's published on gnu.org:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
- One is hosted on sourceware.org
CVS/Root: sourceware.org:/cvs/gdb
CVS/Repository: htdocs
This repository is the source of the copy on sourceware.org:
https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/
I don't know why we have two copies of the website, unfortunately.
It would be nice if we could transition the sources to Git.
I haven't done it, because I don't know how the automatic-update-after-push
is set up, so I'm concerned about breaking the website update if I do.
Meanwhile, because I've pretty much been the only editor of those
sources, I've been able to get away with my own Git repository and
the use of "git cvsexportcommit" to push patches.
If people send me patches, I'm happy to push them.

Hi Joel,

For savannah you are unfortunately stuck with CVS for webpages. But you
can just install a redirect to https://sourceware.org/gdb/ so you don't
need to keep mirroring it in two places.

Sadly my knowledge of CVS is fairly minimal at this point, so I don't
really understand fully how it is setup now. But I can see that it
involves getting a checkout under
/sourceware/www/sourceware/htdocs/gdb/
I can convert the CVS repo to git and then setup the git hooks to do
the same.
That does leave the question of who should be in the gdb group (and is
allowed to push) and how the onlinedocs are updated, those under:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/
Which seems to be done by some script and you need to be in the
"shared" group to be able to put files there.

Does that include the sim manuals that started this thread?
It seems better to get things moved to git and make it possible for
others to also update the gdb webpages. Let me know if I can help with
that and who should be involved to make sure we update all automated
scripts.
Cheers,
Mark

at what point would it be easier to have a clean slate for the sim ?
i get that doing these things for gdb would be desirable in general, but if
people don't have the cycles to do it, and to track down the breakages that
come from updating code that's been this way for ages, then i'm kind of stuck.
i'd volunteer to do the sim setup, but i assume none of it can be delegated.

Sounds like an interesting idea.
One of the things I'm concerned about is perhaps people having
bookmarks of old pages. Or perhaps have every one of the current
pages be a redirect to the corresponding page?
Something like this?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting to </title>
<meta http-equiv = "refresh" content = "3; url = https://https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Redirecting to sourceware.org</p>
</body>
</html>

Combined with the redirect, I think this would be great.

For the onlinedocs part, it's user "gdbadmin" who does those updates.
It does so nightly via crontab.
For the permissions to push to the new htdocs, I can ask the question
to the GDB Global Maintainers. Perhaps they'll agree that anyone allowed
to push to GDB can also push to GDB's htdocs, particularly if we set the
git-hooks up so as to have commit emails sent to gdb-cvs.

That should work for html pages. It is what e.g. gnutls uses. They
keep the page itself in place (so if there is any delay in the
redirection the user at least sees the old contents), and they just
add the meta http-equiv tag right after the head tag with a
content="0; (to make the redirect instantanious).
This requires a little scripting to update all pages (let me know if
you can use help with that).
Alternatively (this is what e.g. guix uses) you can request an
.htaccess file be installed that does the redirects. You can contact
webmasters@gnu.org for that.

OK, if you can look into the the redirect I can look into converting
the cvs repo to git and setup the automatic website updating.

I found /home/gdbadmin/ss/update-web-docs which seems to be the script
responsible. I think this should work as is for the git gdb-htdocs
setup just have to adjust the repo/web dir name, which are arguments
to how the script is called.
To get back to the original request for updating the sim documentation
on the website. Can we tweak this script to include sim? I don't see a
doc subdir under sim though, so I am not sure how the sim
documentation is generated.

I think it would be best/easiest to let everybody in the gdb group
able to push commits to gdb-htdocs. If you trust people to commit
code, you really should trust them to commit documentation, imho.
Speaking of groups. There are actually two, src and gdb. src is used
for enabling git commit access, because that group is shared with
binutils. I looks like gdb is a proper subset of src.

I've added the redirects, with the help of the attached script.
Pretty crude, but did the job.

looks like the gnu.org/software/gdb redirect is live now. i think the sourceware
side is still using CVS for the gdb htdocs though. if it moved to git, would it
make the ACL question any easier ? or would it basically be the same ?

I think it would be the same.
But having the htdocs moved to git would make things a lot easier
for having two people updating the contents of the repository.

it's been over a year since i requested hosting for the GNU sim, and afaict,

Sorry, can you remind us what new service you would like? The sim/

So last time there were a couple of issues:
- There were two places the gdb webpages were kept.
This has been resolved by Joel now https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb
redirects to https://sourceware.org/gdb
- Part of the online docs are generated by a script
/home/gdbadmin/ss/update-web-docs
https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/
It isn't clear if this can simply be adapted to also generate the
sim documentation. I don't see a
doc subdir under sim though, so I am not sure how the sim
documentation is generated.
- The other website files are still in CVS. It would be nice if they
could be moved into git. (If we do we have to adjust the above script
and cronjobs slightly).
- The gdb-htdocs repo can only be updated by people in the gdb group
(which is a subset of the src group which allows pushing to the
binutils-gdb repo). Mike isn't a member of the gdb group, so cannot
push to the gdb-htdocs to create a sim subdir there. And it seems the
current setup, how and who is in the gdb group and can update the
website pages, isn't fully documented.
Cheers,
Mark

sorry, i'm not subscribed to the overseers group, so i don't see replies
only sent to it.
the sim code is developed in the binutils/gdb monorepo. it doesn't need
gdb to build ... it works fine all by itself. i'm not cutting releases
for it today, so most people would get it via gdb releases, or by using
git directly.

i haven't finished/pushed the manual yet. i work on it in bursts, and
unfortunately as i write it i find bugs in the sim & underlying projects,
so i work on fixing those so i don't have to document the bugs.
but for the purposes of this discussion, it's a standard texinfo manual
like every other project in the binutils/gdb git tree. although that
would be just the documentation, not the general project website.

i guess it boils down to either someone adds me to the gdb group so i
can create a sim/ subspace, or someone sets up a new space that i can
push to. totally fine to leave it open for other gdb/etc... folks to
push to too (not sure what the acl groups look like).
in either case, i'd like to have https://sourceware.org/sim/ go to the
right place wherever that is.

Sorry about that. I have added the gdb mailinglist to the CC to make

So questions for the gdb maintainers:
- Are you OK with adding mike to the gdb group so he can update the
gdb website and add a sim/ directory to add sim specific
documentation?
- Do you want to keep the website in CVS or should we convert it to
git?
- Or do you rather have a completely new and separate sim project
setup?

Will do.

So questions for the gdb maintainers:
- Are you OK with adding mike to the gdb group so he can update the
gdb website and add a sim/ directory to add sim specific
documentation?
- Do you want to keep the website in CVS or should we convert it to
git?
- Or do you rather have a completely new and separate sim project
setup?

Will do.

My 2 cents:
- I currently have a cvsgit clone, which doesn't work well to keep
it in sync with other people's changes, so it would be best if
the htdocs CVS repo was converted to git first.
- Once it is in Git, I don't have a problem with Mike being given
access to it;
- Whether it should be the same repo for both, or a different repo,
I'm not sure. If the URL is https://sourceware.org/sim/, maybe
it's best to keep it out. Otherwise, we'll have a sub-dir of
the GDB website be a visible duplicate of the sim website.

Can we have an official thumbs up from the gdb leadership to make this
transition? We should be able to do it fairly quickly, but it is a
"flag day" sort of thing, requiring deprecation of the cvs copy.

Sorry, Joel an I took the conversion off-list. And I already did the
conversion: https://sourceware.org/git/gdb-htdocs.git
People in the gdb group can already push to it, but I haven't hooked
up the post-update to the actual htdocs dir.
It is a "flag day", but in practice only Joel (as gdbadmin) updates
the pages and only to update NEWS with new branches or releases.
(The onlinedocs are updates through a cronjob, but bypass the
repository and just add the docs directly in their respective
onlindocs dirs.)
So if Joel says to flip the switch we can. We just have to make sure
not to clash with the GDB 13 release.
Cheers,
Mark

On my end, I'm happy to switch as soon as you'd like.
If you're ready to connect the hooks to perform an automatic
update of the live version of the web server each time we do
a push, I think we're ready!
We can do a quick announcement on gdb-patches@, to let people
know, but other than that, it's a pretty limited audience for
this repository. Perhaps it'll encourage people to participate
in improving it.

OK https://sourceware.org/gdb is maintained in git now!
To test it out I even updated the how to update the website
instructions on https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/
Note that I forgot to change one "CVS" to "git", it still says
"Read-write CVS (GDB developers only):" instead of "Read-write git
(GDB developers only):". You could fix that up just to make sure it
works.
I also added Mike to the gdb group so he can finally create a sim
dir/web space under https://sourceware.org/gdb/sim/ (we can redirect
https://sourceware.org/sim/ there if you want).
Cheers,
Mark

hmm, i can't tell if this is a new thing, but the gdb doc links are broken.
i'm guessing it's new as this link has been the same since 2009 ?
https://sourceware.org/gdb/documentation/
-> Online GDB manuals: GDB User Manual
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/
-> 404
but https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/ seems to be correct.
is the link wrong and we should fix it, or does something need adjusting on
the server side after the migration from CVS to git ?
or is this a side-effect of the recent texinfo output change ?

I think this is a coincidence and not related to the git
conversion. But either the above change or some change in the script
that generates the onlinedocs.
Before (Jan 11) https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs
contained both a gdb/ directory with separate .html files per node and
a gdb.html file with everything on one page.
After (Jan 12) https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs has a
directory gdb.html/ with one file per node and the file with
everything on one page is now called gdb
This is only for the current onlinedocs the (most recent branch)
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/ and (last release)
https://sourceware.org/gdb/download/onlinedocs/ still have a directory
called gdb and a file called gdb.html
Cheers,
Mark

on that note, what is the policy for merging changes ? akin to other
projects where there's maintainers & write-after-approval ? i can
write up a quick MAINTAINERS doc for the repo.

I don't think there is a process. For my changes, the vast majority
have been about the release, which are routine changes, so I've just
pushed them and that's it.
For changes that can affect the contents more, we go through
gdb-patches, or at the very least I let people know by sending
the patch to gdb-patches.
That's about it so far.

I took a look, and this should be fixed, now.
