GCC: Web Pages

Contributing changes to our web pages is simple.

Our web pages are managed via CVS and can be accessed using the directions for our CVS setup.

As changes are checked in, the respective pages are preprocessed via the script wwwdocs/bin/preprocess which in turn uses a tool called MetaHTML. Among others, this preprocessing adds CSS style sheets, XML and HTML headers, and our standard footer. The MetaHTML style sheet is in wwwdocs/htdocs/style.mhtml.

TODO

Any help concerning open issues is highly welcome, as are suggestions. Suggestions accompanied by patches have a higher chance of being implemented soon. ;-)

• Move extra pages corresponding to technical news items into a directory of their own. Add an index for these.
• Improve navigation, with a consistent (short) menu on every page.
• Set up a system that automatically checks the mirrors list.

  It should detect mirrors that have gone away, are persistently down, or are very out of date (the last being easy to do for those carrying snapshots, harder for those with releases only).

  DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com> has some scripts to do this already.
