From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Yann E. MORIN Date: Sat, 2 Jun 2018 10:01:01 +0200 Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH] docs/manual: always point to the correct license file Message-ID: <20180602080101.23051-1-yann.morin.1998@free.fr> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net The manual is GPL-2, and points to the COPYING file in the repository. When we do a rendering of the manual for a specific version, that URL is currently always poitning to the latest version of the COPYING file. If we ever have to change the content of that file (e.g. to add a new exception, more clarifications, a license change, or whatever), then an old manual would point to that newer version, which would then be incorrect. Include the sha1 of the commit in the URL, so that the manual always point to the tree at the time the manual was rendered, not the time it is consulted. Contrary to the informative text above, use the full sha1, not the shortened one. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
