Before being merged with the commitdc6e1f32c1("Import website-build to build the GNU Boot website."), website-build was a separate git repository. And so, even after the merge, until the commit20d122e94a("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.

title: ThinkPad R500 x-unreviewed: true ...
This board as basically identical to the T500, and has very similar disassembly. You must take it apart and flash the chip externally.
The chip is 4MiB NOR flash (SPI protocol) is SOIC8 form factory.
Refer to the following guide:
Externally rewrite 25xx NOR flash via SPI protocol
Unlike other GM45+ICH9M thinkpads in Libreboot, the R500 doesn't have an Intel
PHY (for Gigabit Ethernet). However, Libreboot still includes an Intel flash
descriptor, but with just the descriptor and BIOS region. The ich9gen program
supports this fully.
Therefore, you do not have to worry about the MAC address. The onboard NIC for ethernet is made by Broadcom (and works in linux-libre).
Refer to T500 disassembly guide. The R500 disassembly procedure is almost identical.
