Information
There are two websites that needs to be maintained for GLIBC.
The wiki and bugzilla are not considered part of the website and have no plans to move.
The first website is hosted on sourceware.org (sources.redhat.com) at http://sourceware.org/glibc/ and the second on savannah.gnu.org at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.
As of 2012-01-24 the sourceware.org website redirects to the website hosted on savannah.gnu.org.
When to update for version X.Y.Z?
When the release branch for X.Y.Z has been created, and the tarballs uploaded, then the websites should also be updated to reflect the availability of the release.
Check out sources for the savannah.gnu.org website
Checkout via CVS the libc web sources (must have savannah account and be a member of libc team, see: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libc/):
export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:<membername>@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/libc co libc
- Modify website.
Modify libc.html to adjust wording for a newer release e.g. 2.11 vs. 2.12.
Check out sources for the sourceware.org website
If the glibc project URL changes on savannah the redirect on sourceware.org will need to be adjusted.
Checkout via CVS the libc web sources (must have a sourceware.org account and have read and write privileges to the /cvs/glibc/htdocs directory.)
export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z 9 -d :ext:<membername>@sourceware.org:/cvs/glibc co htdocs
- Modify website.
Modify index.html to redirect to the correct URL.
