We had both issues described in the text during the RC2:
- Both maintainers agreed to merge a translation under a pseudonym but
one of the maintainers also asked to GNU permission to do that. Due
to a miscommunication between the maintainers it was pushed before
getting feedback from the GNU project.
- Both maintainers agreed to the release commit but due to a
misunderstanding / miscommunication it was pushed too early while
some other commits that still need to be made were supposed to go in
before that announcement commit in order to tag that announcement.
In both cases a process like the one mentioned in the text would
probably avoid to push things too early, especially because the author
of the patch set new about these issues and had them in mind all the
time, and since an additional Ack from that person would still be
needed before pushing, it would avoided this issue.

Several scripts in the SeaBIOS source code used during its build use
'#!/usr/bin/env python' but there is no 'python' when installing
Trisquel through debootstrap.
So to fix that we simply add the python-is-python3 package which
creates the /usr/bin/python symlink and points it to python3.
This work is based on the commit
eeddd2b610 ("build/dependencies: debian:

The file adding the news is named gnuboot-december-2023.md instead of
gnuboot-0.1-rc1.md as the later is understood as a translation in the
'1-rc1' lang. Renaming the file to gnuboot-0.1-rc1.en.md instead makes
untitled detect the lang correctly but then it assumes this is a
translation and adds a broken link for "English" on the new page.
For now the older Libreboot news were kept as this shows the history
of the project and since GNU Boot is a continuation of the Libreboot
project it makes sense to also keep them.
The CSS also needed to be separated from the template because
otherwise the generated news page would be incomplete and miss all
what comes before the CSS like '<!DOCTYPE html>' for instance.
Finally x-reviewed was changed into x-unreviewed because we can't set
x-reviewed for the news, so the only way to remove the banner for the
individual news is to default to reviewed (and to mark all unreviewed
files as such).
As for the Untitled patch it is needed to make the news page work.

The 'make release' or './build release all' commands build releases of
GNU Boot that consist of installable images and the upstream source
code used to build them.
The u-boot-libre package is instead meant to follow different release
schedules as it releases deblobbed versions of various u-boot releases
for reuse by distributions like Parabola.
Before the commit 857afa42a8 ("Switch to
packages structure.") users were expected to run the release script of
u-boot-libre separately but after it it ended up being run
automatically as part of 'make release' or ./build release all.
Renaming this script ensure that it's not run during regular releases.

Without that fix we have the following issue on PureOS byzantium:
$ resources/packages/coreboot/distclean
resources/packages/coreboot/distclean: 19:
resources/packages/coreboot/../../scripts/tasks/distclean.sh:
Bad substitution
resources/packages/coreboot/distclean: 20: .:
cannot open /../../..//resources/scripts/misc/sysexits.sh:
No such file
This happens because packages/coreboot/distclean uses #!/bin/sh and
that the default sh shell isn't using bash:
$ readlink $(which sh)
dash
and using bash instead works fine:
$ bash resources/packages/coreboot/distclean ; echo $?
0
all the other distclean scripts in packages/*/ have exactly the same
issue. The tests/distlean script is also affected since it also
sources the distclean task.
So we use #!/usr/bin/env bash as it work with both Guix and regular
more or less FHS compliant distributions.
This issue was introduced by the commit
c7e28dc660 ("packages: Add distclean").

This page is supposed to describe the Libreboot build system, but it
seems to only be there as a placeholder waiting for contributions that
add the actual information.
The problem here is that we don't want to describe the build system in
details in the manual for now as it is being reworked and it is
subject to change.
So for now we prefer to cleanup the code instead, and commenting it
along the way if possible, and if some explanations need to be added
in the manual it will most likely cover the global architecture which
isn't defined yet.

Many projects that make hardware work (drivers, etc) have status
pages.
Here GNU Boot is a distribution and with very few exceptions (like
infrared and TPM on I945 Thinkpads) most of the hardware work fine.
However we currently need to track what computers were tested, if the
installation instruction work, and the upstream status to know if a
computer is likely to continue being supported or not if nobody
volunteers to help.
This is also a practical way to ask volunteers to test with very
simple tasks like bug reporting if things work or don't work.
