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.

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:

Since we want to be able to have commits that modify both the code and

It's also a good idea to do that as early as possible as we don't need

For consistency we at least need to make it search for the
