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.

We will most likely get a new logo, so it doesn't make sense to
keep this one as it would increase confusion between our genuine
Libreboot, and Leah's Libreboot.

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)

The URL was changed with the following command:
$ sed 's#libreboot.org#libreboot.srht.site#g' \
-i \
$(git ls-files | xargs grep "libreboot\.org" | 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.

For some reasons pandoc on Guix fails at guix commit

As adding organization support to Source Hut is still a
work in progress, we will use this workaround in the
meantime.
Sourceware also uses a similar workaround.

The token will need to be added in id_oauth2_bearer.
It's not very safe to pass the content to a command as any user on the
system on which it is run will be able to get the token, though I
didn't find a command line argument in curl to pass it a file path
instead.

Sourcehut has a way to setup a static website by uploading a tarball
of the content[1].
Even if we don't end up using Sourcehut, generating a tarball of the
website enables more easy deployments.
Note that we didn't touch to the website code yet, so it still uses
the old URLs, the old image locations, etc.
After creating a token (documentation[1]), the website can then be
uploaded with the following command:
curl \
--oauth2-bearer "<token>" \
-Fcontent=@website.tar.gz \

with this change, it's unlikely we'll hit errors again. previously,
some projects used were calling "python" which in context was
python3, but on some setups, the user only has python2 and python3
but no symlink for "python" (which if exists, we assumed linked to
python3)
now it's unambiguous. docs/build/ can probably be updated now, as
a result of this change, to remove the advice about that
I was running into a race condition when rebuilding seabios with a high cpu count,
resulting in failure with this error message:

Performing the silentoldconfig step before the full make step seems to resolve the failure.

This doesn't change the existing usage of the scripts:
- For the Coreboot script, before this change, all arguments that were
passed were considered as board to download the Coreboot source code
for.
Here we added the '--help' and '--list-boards' arguments, so it
should not be an issue as it is extremely unlikely that a board
would be called '--help' or '--list-boards'.
- All the other scripts don't use any arguments so passing --help
should not conflict with the existing usage.

If the script is named u-boot-stable-src-release and that users see an
u-boot-libre tarball they will not make the link between both unless

Many people using FSDG compliant distributions or wanting to use one
are already familiar with linux-libre. This change renames the
resulting tarball to u-boot-libre to make it easier for people to
understand the goal of this tarball.
In addition we also rename the version from v2021.07 (which is the git
tag corresponding to the release) to 2021.07 as u-boot upstream
tarballs use that.
The revision wasn't bumped as we didn't have any releases of
u-boot-libre yet.
