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.
* doc/misc/cc-mode.texi: Remove reference to defunct viewcvs URL.
Instead, refer to the generic Savannah page, since it seems likely
that Savannah will never provide the equivalent service for GNU bazaar.
The other option would be to use the Git mirror URL, since it seems to
be being updated now, and of course browsing Git repos works just fine.
That would be a pretty poor advert for the GNU system though.
* etc/MH-E-NEWS: Update URL (viewcvs -> viewvc).
* lisp/net/tramp-fish.el: Update URL in comment (viewcvs -> viewvc).
