The t60_unbrick.html[1] page didn't show any images on gnu.org but it
worked fine locally with 'make test'. A sysadmin from the FSF noticed
that these pages had an .htaccess and after temporarily removing them
the pages worked again. So removing the .htaccess should fix that
issue.

Having an {arch,debian,fedora35,ubuntu2004,void} GNU Boot package
looked strange. Having a dependencies package instead makes more
sense.

The various build scripts are scattered around in multiple
places. This make it hard for contributors to understand what they
need to modify.
Most GNU Boot users are interested in running GNU/Linux or BSD
operating systems. And the way to install software on these
operating systems is through a package manager. So most users and
contributors already know the package manager abstraction.
So using that abstraction makes it easier to find where things are.
The scripts to install dependencies don't really fit the new structure
but for now we move them in to make sure that everything works
fine. This could be fixed later on and migrated to a single
dependencies packages by auto-detecting the distribution with
/etc/os-release.

Since we now have a very visible banner that indicates which pages
have been not been reviewed, and contribution instructions on how to
fix that, we are ready to publish the website.
Right now the deploy path of the website isn't configurable as this
would require some form of templating or processing of the markdown
files, so the website was simply moved from
gnu.org/software/gnuboot/test to gnu.org/software/gnuboot.

GNU Boot might have to send some of the patches upstream so we can't
have a policy that applies to everything unless we also look into
upstream projects and GNU policies as well.
In addition we might need multiple ways to satisfy upstream
constraints to fit different needs / compromise from people wanting to
contribute anonymously.
And as the problem raised here is more global it is better to have a
more global answers and find ways that also work with upstream projects
as well.
Being a GNU project, GNU boot would also need to look into the GNU
policies on the topic and also try to see if for instance the FSF
copyright assignements could also be used in some cases to fix that
issue.
There are also other things worth looking into as well. For instance
Software Conservancy also handles copyright assignments and Asahi Lina
that contributes anonymously to the Linux kernel while satisfying
their very strict policy about tracking copyright ownership.

In Parabola, the libreboot-utils and various u-boot packages needed
Libreboot as it was providing deblobbed source releases of Coreboot
and u-boot.
Because of that and also because I need also deblobbed u-boot for Guix
and Replicant, I ended up being involved in Libreboot.at and then GNU
Boot.
However the Replicant project also needs my help, so when joining
Libreboot.at and then GNU Boot I mostly wanted to have a project I
could rely on and be able to easily send patches to it.
So the idea was that once the project would be in a good shape I would
reconsider if I still needed to be a maintainer and try to see if new
contributors wanted to replace me (to have more than one maintainers)
and then go back sending patches from time to time as a regular
contributor to have more time for other projects.
This is why we used the word "interim" at the beginning: I was not
sure (and still am not sure) to want to stay maintainer of GNU Boot
forever. Adrien however has other plans.

For the GNU Boot website and documentation we reused:
- The Libreboot website as it contains a lot of documentation
(installation instructions, documentation on supported computers,
etc). And we don't want to re-do all that from scratch.
- The libreboot.at website as some of its modifications (like the
ability to include images from the same domain, the fact that it
mention that it's not libreboot.org, etc) are useful to us, and here
too it's a good idea not to have to re-do all that work from
scratch.

We don't plan to use an external website just for the images, so
we need a local path for the images.
Since the images are in www/ in the images repositories, it's easier
to expect the images in img/www to enable easy deployment by users.
The path of the images aren't relative to the page. So we need to use
a kind of absolute path for it to work.
We have the choice of not using any domain (/img/www/) or using a
specific domain (DOMAIN/img/www/). We use the former as the later
doesn't work offline and cannot use the local images.
However the downside is that we need a local web server for it to work
as simply opening the html files in a browser won't work unless the
user puts the images inside /img/www inside the root filesystem.

The first Libreboot release was the 12th December 2013[1].
This is also correlated with the fact that I moved to France around
summer 2013, and around December, I gave Leah my build scripts (under
a free license) and I answered all her questions in order to help her
getting the first RYF computer certified. That then lead to the
creation of Libreboot. So the first release cound't have happened in
2009.

Before the images were hosted on a separate domain. Since we don't
have that, we moved them in libreboot/img and the address were changed
with the following command:
$ sed 's#av\.libreboot\.srht\.site#libreboot.srht.site/img#g' \
-i \
$(git ls-files | xargs grep "av\.libreboot\.srht\.site" | sed 's/:.*//' | sort -u)

If the website is moved again in the future we will need to change the
URL again in the same way.
