Before being merged with the commit
dc6e1f32c1 ("Import website-build to
build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git
repository.
And so, even after the merge, until the commit
20d122e94a ("website-build: use website
from local git repository."), it still worked in the same way and
still downloaded the website from git.
However since that commit, website-build stopped downloading the
website from git and built it from the current tree instead, but the
instructions were not updated
This was broken by commit 20d122e94a
("website-build: use website from local git repository.")

Since we're migrating to haunt, and that 'haunt build' builds the
website, 'haunt serve' serve the website locally, and that 'haunt
publish' takes care of publishing the website, using the same target
names will make remembering the targets easier.

When working on multiple websites the same time, having every website
using the port 8080 by default isn't very convenient.
In addition here we need a number that is somewhat easy to remember
and possibly meaningful for each website, so in general that not easy
to choose.
But in the case of GNU Boot we can find a scheme because:
- GNU Boot supports only x86 machines for now,
- the GM45 ThinkPads are probably the most well supported by GNU
Boot and also well known machines,
- that the GM45 ThinkPads use Intel CPUs,
- that 8086 is frequently used as vendor ID for Intel,
so here we can simply use 8086 as it's meaningful and at least very
easy to remember at least for people working in that field.
In addition for people not familiar with writing drivers for x86
computers, it could also reminds of a CPU also from Intel.

The previous configuration was more complicated and required two steps each
time one tried to deploy the website. The new configuration makes use of
the ProxyJump feature to allow deploying in only one step.

GNUtoo: fixed line over 80 characters.
Acked-by: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org>
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.

The build.sh script currently hardcodes the repository URL and
revisions or branches name it uses.
If contributors aren't aware of that they could end up testing a
revision that is different from the one that they are working on.

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.

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.

Neox: Suggested the split in smaller commits and various ways to do
that (including some that were used).
Acked-by: Adrien 'neox' Bourmault <neox@gnu.org>
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:
