The website and documentation originally comes from Libreboot and
Libreboot didn't have separate website and documentation.
And we need to reuse it because without it, GNU Boot would be almost
useless as without documentation most users would not be able to
install it.
The website is about 900 files and consist in about 27 MiB of
pictures.
Given that the website is not ready yet and that we are looking for
contributions to help us fixing it, we will end up having to update it
often, and ideally in a timely manner as well not to discourage
contributions.
So we needed some way to deployment the website with very few
commands.
GNU typically use CVS for deploying the website, but it is harder to
use than rsync for automatizing the deployment of a website.
To do that someone would have to write or adapt code to do the
deployment automatically, but that can potentially be time consuming
to do, especially if it needs to be done efficiently (for instance by
only adding files that changed since the last time) not to load too
much the CVS server.
Because of all that, an rsync access was temporarily setup for us, to
enable us to publish the website now and to be able to fixing this
deployment issue later and/or ask for help on the website to fix it.

Most GNU projects use a CVS repository to publish their web pages.
For some reasons, in the CVS root directory (inside the gnuboot CVS
module) the only file that we can add is index.html. Subdirectories
don't have this limitation.
So we add a test for that.
In addition when the website will be ready we will most likely have an
html file that redirect to a subdirectory (like /web/) and so we add
the html file for doing that too.

Since the website and the images were merged in GNU boot respectively
in site/ and www/, we can now modify GNU boot to only be cloned once
to build the website.
The image path was also modified to make images work both in the local
served website and at gnu.org and also to minimize the differences
between the test and deployment setups.
Libreboot.at also hosted a copy of Untitled to make it simple to
control the revision being used.
But in the longer term, it would be a bad idea to do that again for
GNU boot since there are plans to convert the website and/or
documentation to the texinfo format, and so at some point Untitled
will stop being used, and we don't want to end up with a git
repository that needs to be kept for historic reasons but that is
unused.
Since the website isn't ready we also have a redirection to Savannah
to make sure that visitors are redirected to something meaningful.

Having that code inside the same repository than GNU Boot makes it
easier to keep Untitled versions (and possibly additional patches on
top) in sync with the documentation/website being worked on.
This is relevant as there are plans within GNU Boot to convert the
website to Texinfo but that would require to patch untitled (to add
support for Texinfo pages in untitled) to do a progressive transition
to Texinfo.
Using an external repository to temporarily maintain a patched version
of Untitled is not optimal as we would end up having to warn users not
to use that repository anymore at some point.
Bringing in the whole untitled source code and documentation in this
GNU Boot repository is also not a good option since we only need
minimal patching on top of untitled, so in the long run not doing that
would help keep the GNU Boot repository smaller and more simple.
In addition we currently do need to wrap the build with a fixed Guix
revision as for instance with a more recent Guix revision than the one
used by website-built, for instance at the commit ("gnu: nyxt: Update
to 3.9.0."), if we run ./build.sh directly without using a fixed Guix
revision, the build is broken:

This coreboot revision also correct some bugs with SMM, SMBIOS, IPMI and BMC.
Some new values in coreboot configuration make coreboot first build stop to prompt
users and forcing them to choose an option to continue:
- CONFIG_STM
- CONFIG_DEBUG_IPMI
- CONFIG_VENDOR_VIA
- CONFIG_SOUTHBRIDGE_AMD_CIMX_SB900
- CONFIG_IPMI_FRU_SINGLE_RW_SZ
- CONFIG_IPMI_KCS_TIMEOUT_MS
A bug has been opened about CONFIG_STM on our bug tracker [1], and we decided,
for now, to unset this option explicitely.
So in this commit we just regenerated configurations for each fam15h board via
coreboot build prompts and copied the resulting configurations in the configuration
folder and that results in the following:
- unset CONFIG_STM
- unset CONFIG_DEBUG_IPMI
- unset CONFIG_VENDOR_VIA
- unset CONFIG_SOUTHBRIDGE_AMD_CIMX_SB900
- set CONFIG_IPMI_FRU_SINGLE_RW_SZ=16
- set CONFIG_IPMI_KCS_TIMEOUT_MS=5000

This commit is based on the 20220710 tag from Libreboot.
To our knowledge, 20220710 is the last really libre Libreboot
release as the next releases from libreboot.org has nonfree
software (like nonfree microcode updates).
Because of that we've stepped forward to stand up for freedom,
and we started maintaining our own version of Libreboot that
didn't include nonfree software.
To make sure that our version remains free and continue to be
maintained over time, we chose to now do this as part of the

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.

There was several issues with the way dependencies were handled:
- First the dependencies were checked but if they weren't found,
nothing happened: you would have "checking for <command>... no" in
the configure output, but configure would then ignore that issue and
continue.
- Then there was no need to check for dependencies provided by Guix if
they weren't also used outside of Guix.
- Then when guix wasn't used, a lot more dependencies are required,
and most of them were missing. The list was made by reading
lbwww-build's Makefile.am and scripts but also untitled's build

Using autotools has several advantages against trying to add such a
feature to the Makefile:
- we don't need to always pass an extra option to make, so once
configured there is less to type
- we also check for dependencies along the way
- the trade-off between easy to use and code simplicity looks better
than with plain Makefile: with a single option we can easily make
the Makefile use --share and --with-lbwww-path conditionally. Doing
that with a plain Makefile would probably be way more complex, or
would require code duplication (to only use --share and
--with-lbwww-path when an option is passed to the Makefile), or
would require to pass raw build.sh options (which would complicate
usage).

The ideal situation would be to move integrate all the files of this
repository inside lbwww to be able to easily test local changes.
However that doesn't work as untitled expect lbwww to be in
untitled/www/lbwww and there is no way to configure that.
Using symlinks doesn't work either as untitled doesn't trust symlinks
as there are TOCTU attacks with it if the distribution doesn't
fs.protected_hardlinks and fs.protected_symlinks in sysctl.
Patching untitled is also not the best option here as it could
potentially add extra maintenance in the long run.
So we add the configuration inside lbwww-build instead.
