* all: prefer HTTPS in URLsPaul Eggert2017-09-191-1/+1

* maint: modernize URLsPaul Eggert2017-01-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | A lot of this is converting http: to https:. Also, gmane went away, so remove URLs that no longer work and are not easy to figure out what they were. Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.
* stat: report file system type for "overlayfs"Pádraig Brady2015-12-141-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | * src/stat.c (human_fstype): Add "overlayfs", and tag it as "remote" to ensure that tail continues to use the more conservative polling mode. * README-release: Remove a stale comment about updating fremote() in tail.c. Also give a link to *_SUPER_MAGIC definitions not in the standard linux/magic.h location. * NEWS: Mention that this file system is recognized.
* maint: remove stale online manual items at releasePádraig Brady2015-06-171-8/+24
| | | | | | * gnulib: Update to get the new gnu-web-doc-update with --mirror option. * README-release: Use the --mirror option in the instructions. Also clarify and update various release steps.
* maint: use gnulib styling with the online manualPádraig Brady2015-04-271-1/+0

* maint: apply basic styling to online manualPádraig Brady2015-03-241-0/+1
| | | | | | * README-release: Reference http://www.gnu.org/s/coreutils/manual.css to apply basic styling to the online coreutils manual, consistent with the Emacs documentation.
* maint: improve make src/fs-magic-comparePádraig Brady2013-03-241-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * README-release: fix the `make` command, and mention how to get the latest results without requring running a system with the latest kernel. * src/local.mk (src/fs-latest-magic.h): A new target to document how/where to place the latest magic header. (src/fs-kernel-magic): Adjust to include separately downloaded header if available. (src/fs-magic): Undefine MANPAGER as it may impact the ability to pipe the output of man(1). (fs-magic-compare): Don't echo the commands run as they're distracting from the output which needs to be examined.

| | | | | | | | This script automates the process of updating NEWS, performs the resulting final commit (thus with a consistent log message), and applies a signed tag (v$VERSION) to the result. * build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag: New script. * README-release: Document it.
