When working on multiple websites the same time, having every website
using the port 8080 by default isn't very convenient.
In addition here we need a number that is somewhat easy to remember
and possibly meaningful for each website, so in general that not easy
to choose.
But in the case of GNU Boot we can find a scheme because:
- GNU Boot supports only x86 machines for now,
- the GM45 ThinkPads are probably the most well supported by GNU
Boot and also well known machines,
- that the GM45 ThinkPads use Intel CPUs,
- that 8086 is frequently used as vendor ID for Intel,
so here we can simply use 8086 as it's meaningful and at least very
easy to remember at least for people working in that field.
In addition for people not familiar with writing drivers for x86
computers, it could also reminds of a CPU also from Intel.

The logo links were not real links and at least the one in the FAQ was
converted multiple times and I'm not sure exactly when it was broken
or if it ever worked as finding out would require to test on

As for the link in the logo-license page I didn't investigate when it

The Guix manual[1] allows patches under pseudonymous:
Contributors are not required to use their legal name in patches
and on-line communication; they can use any name or pseudonym of
their choice.
[1]https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/html_node/Contributing.html
For Guix packages that contain patches to other upstream projects we
would need to contact the upstream project to best see how to handle
that.
As for the documentation, part of it is most likely to stay specific
to GNU Boot, but other parts could be merged into Guix (which was
already checked), GRUB or other projects to simplify maintenance.
As for the GNU Boot build system, it's most likely specific to GNU
Boot or likely to be moved into Guix packages at some point. The only
problematic cases that can remain are the move of the build logic
inside upstream project or for transforming hacks into autotools
contributions.
But in any case when contributions that could be merged in projects
that weren't checked are made, the GNU Boot maintainers and/or
followers of the GNU Boot patches mailing list could simply mention
the issue and look up the upstream policy with regard to pseudonymous
contributions, and if that doesn't work out, work with upstream
projects to find a solution.

GNU Boot can be installed on some I945 ThinkPads without disassembling
them. To do that it requires both a patched flashrom and bucts.
This build them and also integrate Guix in GNU Boot as a dependency to
build them.
This will enable us to later on ship these utilities and then update
the installation instructions to use them somehow.
It also makes sure that we have proper authorship of the patch used
for flashrom and also unify the two flashrom patches not to require
two different flashrom binaries.

The build documentation (site/docs/build/index.md) references some
commands, so documenting them in the a 'make help' command as well can
help improve the contributors efficiency by not having to re-read the
documentation every time we are looking for a command.
In addition this can help separate well known commands from other less
documented ones that are internal to GNU Boot and that can more easily
change.
This is also important as it allows, if the need arrise, to have the
the autotools system play a more important role than merely a
"compatibility system" for people used to type "make" as the build
instructions currently state.

For some reason the regex being removed ends up ignoring .scm files:
if we run git add to some files in ./resources/guix/*/*.scm, we end up
with:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
[...]
hint: Use -f if you really want to add them.
hint: Turn this message off by running
hint: "git config advice.addIgnoredFile false"
but if we remove '*.s[a-w]?' from .gitignore, git add works fine
without any warning.
As this gitignore entry was added by the very first commit of this
repository (commit 89517ed6b9
"libreboot!"), we don't really know why it was added (what type of
files it's supposed to match again).
But given that we plan to use .scm files extensively, it's probably
better to remove that ignore rule and find out later the reason why it
was added in the first place, and adjust the rules accordingly, than
risking to forget some important scheme files.

Without this fix, running shellcheck -x on
resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh returns many errors.
For each guix version declaration we have something like that:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 21:
guix_v0_0="6365068393254e1131ab80eb0d68a759e7fd2256"
^-------^ SC2034 (warning): guix_v0_0 appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
and here the variables are actually used in this code:
guix_version_commit()
{
version="$1"
eval echo "$(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')"
}
so we workaround by disabling that test for each version declaration.
Then shellcheck cannot find "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 91:
. "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile
^-------------------------^ SC1091 (info):
Not following: ./etc/profile: openBinaryFile:
does not exist (No such file or directory)
so we disabled that test for this line.
After that we have many issues with quoting like this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 104:
eval echo $(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')
^-- SC2046 (warning):
Quote this to prevent word splitting.
or this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 233:
major="$(echo ${version} | awk -F . '{print $1}')"
^--------^ SC2086 (info):
Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
these were fixed.
We also improved a test by using grep -q:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 272:
elif [ -n "$(echo ${revision} | grep '\.')" ] ; then
^-- SC2143 (style):
Use grep -q instead of comparing output with [ -n .. ]
And finally in guix_version_commit a sed was avoided by using bash
replacement, and when that was not possible (in guix_next_version),
the shellcheck test for that was disabled.

Since 'SHELL := bash' also works on PureOS 10 and Trisquel 10, I'll
use that instead as it is more simple.

the bash they want, and also to work better with non-FHS
