This mostly changes http: to https: in URLs. It also updates
some URLs that have moved, removes some URLs that no longer
work, recommends against using procmail (procmail.org no
longer works), and removes some mentions of the
no-longer-existing Gmane, LPF and VTW.
It doesn't update all URLs, just the ones I had time for.
* GNUmakefile (help):
* admin/admin.el (manual-doctype-string):
* admin/charsets/Makefile.in (${charsetdir}/ALTERNATIVNYJ.map):
* admin/charsets/mapconv:
* lisp/net/soap-client.el (soap-create-envelope):
* lisp/org/org.el (org-doi-server-url):
* lisp/textmodes/bibtex.el (bibtex-generate-url-list):
Prefer https: to http: un URLs.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
* GNUmakefile (ALL_IF_GIT): Remove; no longer needed, now that
./autogen.sh defaults to "all". All uses removed.
* README: Mention autoconf.sh's effect on Git configuration.
* autogen.sh (do_autoconf, do_git): New vars.
Support new arguments --help, all, autoconf, git.
By default, just do autoconf-related configuration, not git.
Prefer 'echo' to 'cat <<EOF ...', as this tends to avoid temp files.
If GNU cp is available, use it to backup .git/config before
changing it. When configuring git, chatter about what is being
done, and configure git to check hashes. Avoid some duplicate
file name specification when creating git hooks.
* GNUmakefile (ALL_IF_GIT): New macro.
(configure): Use it.
* INSTALL.REPO: Suggest './autogen.sh all'.
(ORDINARY_GOALS): New macro, which excludes 'bootstrap'.
(bootstrap, .PHONY): New rules.
* INSTALL.REPO: Document current procedure better.
Move copyright notice to just before license notice.
