Hi Joel,

Thanks for the overview.

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
