[PATCH] CREDITS: replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones and add myself

[PATCH] CREDITS: replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones and add myself

[Alexander A. Klimov]

Regarding the links:

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Regarding the addition of myself:

Rationale:
* 93431e0607e5
* the replaced links in this patch

Signed-off-by: Alexander A. Klimov <grandmaster@al2klimov.de>
---
 Continuing my work started at 93431e0607e5.

 If there are any URLs to be removed completely or at least not HTTPSified:
 Just clearly say so and I'll *undo my change*.
 See also https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/27/64

 If there are any valid, but yet not changed URLs:
 See https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/26/837

This is ... not particularly self-explanatory.  Is that meant to be a
commit reference?  If so, you would want to use the normal format.

> * the replaced links in this patch

If you are going to do something like make an addition to the file, you
need to do that separately from a cleanup patch.

But somebody has to say this: I don't think we have any sort of laid-down
policy for what it takes to be mentioned in CREDITS, but I don't think that
your work thus far clears whatever bar we might set.  We don't immortalize
every person who submits some cleanup patches, or this file would be a long
one indeed.  If you would like to be remembered for your kernel work, I
would respectfully suggest that you move beyond mechanical cleanups into
higher-level work.

One other little thing that jumped out at me:

That link just redirects to linux.com, which is probably not what Alan had
in mind.  Replacing the link with one into the wayback machine (or perhaps
just removing it entirely) would seem like a more useful change than adding
HTTPS to a link that clearly does not reach the intended destination.

Thanks,

jon

I have absolutely no problem with that.
But IMAO you *should* have a such policy.
At least for people who'd *have* a problem with that.

[PATCH] CREDITS: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

[Alexander A. Klimov]

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

So while I do understand what you're trying to do, HTTPSifying something
that has become a spam site doesn't do any good to anybody.  If you
*really* want to improve this file, dealing with this sort of issue would
be a much more useful contribution.  

I agree that fixing the links in general is a mildly useful thing to do.
But this kind of mindless replacement is taking a fair amount of my time,
and I just can't bring myself to apply patches that do something like
this.  Please, slow down a bit and think about how to actually improve
things rather than polishing unseemly items like the above.

Thanks,

jon

I'm sorry. I've just read your complies
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200710154630.31521104@lwn.net/
and thought that's all.

Is that link plus the email I'm responding right now to all?
Normally I'd just submit a v2, but in this case I'd like to be sure first.

I don't know, I have not checked them all.

The point I am trying to make is that, with this sort of mechanical
conversion, you are making work for other people.  If you are changing a
link in a document, *you* really should maybe take a look at it and make
sure that it makes sense.  It shouldn't be necessary for others to point
these things out to you.

Thanks,

jon

[PATCH v2] CREDITS: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

[Alexander A. Klimov]

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
          If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
          return 200 OK and serve the same content:
            Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

So thanks for addressing these.  That said, I do wonder if this is quite
the right thing to do.  I'm assuming that the old sites still exist in the
wayback machine somewhere, and somebody might actually want to find them.
Pity the poor anthropologist researching the origins of the the
billion-line, free-software kernels widely used in the 2500's...

So maybe we should either mark it as "[BROKEN]" or make a direct link into
the wayback machine instead?  That would enable the suitably motivated to
go after the content that once existed.

Thoughts anybody?

Thanks,

jon

I'm not going to be much help here: I like either of Jon's suggestions
better than just deleting that line.

That particular entry moved to:

 W: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/

(The https version only supports TLSv1, and Firefox balks)

Otherwise, what Jon said:

As an innocent bystander, I'd opt for [BROKEN] tags, or Wayback machine 
substitutes, instead of just removing those entries.

My 2 cents,
Christian.

Similarly, this historical information is still available in the
Internet Archives:
https://web.archive.org/web/20080928071628/http://www.andante.org:80/scsi.html

There are thousands of outdated URLs in the source and documentation which
are still useful today, in particular the references to datasheets. I
consider these
outdated links as still valuable source information, and find removing
them a loss.

My 2 cents.

Regards,

Phil.

"dementia.org" became "dementix.org" a few years ago.

This happens to be a co-worker, who suggests replacing the entry as
per this commit:

   https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d878bcc8695c5d8bd3ca8b8defa4d50ec2424859

Although that might be a bit beyond the scope of this particular patch
series; it should maybe be sent separately.
