Hi, When we rename an .rst file, that also changes the URL for the document at https://docs.kernel.org/ and results in a 404, which can be anonying for people who bookmark URLs and/or follow links from search engines and old changelogs and emails. In order to be able to fearlessly rename individual documentation files and reorganize Documentation/, add two scripts: - tools/docs/gen-renames.py : use git to figure out which .rst files have been renamed - tools/docs/gen-redirects.py : actually generate .html stubs for the locations, redirecting to the new locations The reason for splitting this into two is that trawling git history is slightly slow (on the order of 20-30 seconds on my laptop) whereas just generating the HTML files is very fast. This also allows us to cache the historical renames in Documentation/.renames.txt or add manual fixups as needed. Changes since v1: - cover letter - move files from scripts/ -> tools/docs/ - add SPDX lines - program doc strings + improved --help Vegard --- Vegard Nossum (3): docs: add tools/docs/gen-renames.py docs: add Documentation/.renames.txt docs: add tools/docs/gen-redirects.py Documentation/.renames.txt | 1191 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Documentation/Makefile | 4 + Makefile | 5 +- tools/docs/gen-redirects.py | 54 ++ tools/docs/gen-renames.py | 130 ++++ 5 files changed, 1382 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/.renames.txt create mode 100755 tools/docs/gen-redirects.py create mode 100755 tools/docs/gen-renames.py -- 2.34.1
