Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli 6e5e4f3421
Merge website and website-build.
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.

This prevented merging the website and website-build directories
together as the GNU Boot repository also needed to be a valid Untitled
website repository as well.

Now after this commit, the website is built from the same git tree, so
we can simply adjust the build scripts to be able to move things
around.

In addition of making things more clear for contributors, it also
simplify the migration to haunt as with haunt we typically have the
haunt.cfg (and the autotools build code if needed) code in the top
directory and the markdown files in a subdirectory.

- Updated getcb script and DEBLOB script.
- Updated configuration files under resources/libreboot/config/ to

- Unified all grub configurations for all systems to a single grub.cfg
under resources/grub/config/

- Added getseabios and builddeps-seabios (builddeps and getall were
also updated)
- Added instructions to 'buildrom-withgrub' to include
bios.bin.elf and vgaroms/vgabios.bin from SeaBIOS inside the
ROM.
- Added seabios (and sgavgabios) to grub as payload option in menu
- Disabled serial output in Memtest86+ (no longer needed) to speed up
tests.
- MemTest86+ now works properly, it can output on the laptop
screen (no serial port needed anymore).
- Added getgrubinvaders, builddeps-grubinvaders scripts. Added these
to getall and builddeps.
- Added [GRUB Invaders](http://www.coreboot.org/GRUB_invaders)
menu entry in resources/grub/config/grub.cfg
- Added rules to builddeps-coreboot to build libpayload with
TinyCurses. (added appropriate instructions to cleandeps script).
- Commented out lines in resources/grub/config/grub.cfg for loading
font/background (not useful anymore, now that GRUB is in text-mode).
- Commented out lines in buildrom-withgrub that included
backgrounds/fonts (not useful anymore, now that GRUB is in
text-mode).
- Added resources/utilities/i945-pwm/ (from
git://git.mtjm.eu/i945-pwm), for debugging acpi brightness on i945
systems.
- Added instructions for it in builddeps, builddeps-i945pwm,
builddeb and cleandeps
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated sha512sum
manifests (not needed, since release tarballs are GPG-signed)
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated libreboot\_meta
directory (not needed anymore, since \_meta will be hosted in git)
- Updated \#build\_meta (and other parts of documentation) to
accomodate this change.
- Documentation: simplified (refactored) the notes in \#rom
- 'build' script: removed the parts that generated libreboot\_bin
and added them to a new script: 'build-release'
- Documentation: \#build updated to reflect the above.
- ~~Added all gcry\_\* modules to grub (luks/cryptomount):
gcry\_arcfour gcry\_camellia gcry\_crc gcry\_dsa gcry\_md4
gcry\_rfc2268 gcry\_rmd160 gcry\_seed gcry\_sha1 gcry\_sha512
gcry\_twofish gcry\_blowfish gcry\_cast5 gcry\_des gcry\_idea
gcry\_md5 gcry\_rijndael gcry\_rsa gcry\_serpent gcry\_sha256
gcry\_tiger gcry\_whirlpool~~
- Added GNUtoo's list of GRUB modules (includes all of the gcry\_\*
modules above), cryptomount should be working now.
- Removed builddeb-bucts and builddeb-flashrom, merged them with
builddeb ( updated accordingly)
- Removed buildpac-bucts and buildpac-flashrom, merged them with
buildpac ( updated accordingly)
- Renamed buildpac to deps-parabola ( updated accordingly)
- Documentation: removed all parts talking about build dependencies,
replaced them with links to \#build\_dependencies
- Documentation: emphasized more strongly on the documentation, the
need to re-build bucts and/or flashrom before flashing a ROM image.
- build-release: flashrom, nvramtool, cbfstool and bucts are no longer
provided pre-compiled in binary archives, and are now in source form
only. (to maximize distro compatibility).
- 'build' script: replaced grub.elf assembly instructons, it is now
handled by a utility added under resources/utilities/grub-assemble
- Moved resources/grub/keymap to
resources/utilities/grub-assemble/keymap, and updated that utility
to use it
- Documentation: removed useless links to pictures of keyboard layouts
and unmodified layouts.
- Removed all unused fonts from dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.34/ directory

for each system: one with text-mode, one with coreboot framebuffer.
- Documentation: updated \#rom to reflect the above
- Deleted unused README and COPYING file from main directory
- Removed some rm -Rf .git\* instructions from the get\* scripts and
moved them to build-release script
- Split up default grub.cfg into 6 parts:
extra/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg} and
menuentries/{common.cfg,txtmode.cfg,vesafb.cfg}
- buildrom-withgrub script uses these to generate the correct
grub.cfg for each type of configuration.
- grub\_memdisk.cfg (used inside grub.elf) now only loads grub.cfg
from cbfs. It no longer enables serial output or sets prefix.
(menuentries/common.cfg does instead)
- resources/grub/config/extra/common.cfg, added:
- insmod instructions to load those modules: nativedisk, ehci,
ohci, uhci, usb, usbserial\_pl2303, usbserial\_ftdi,
usbserial\_usbdebug
- set prefix=(memdisk)/boot/grub
- For native graphics (recommended by coreboot wiki):\
gfxpayload=keep\
terminal\_output \--append gfxterm
- Play a beep on startup:\
play 480 440 1
- Documentation: updated gnulinux/grub\_cbfs.html to make it safer
(and easier) to follow.
