Documentation: Replace lkml.org links with lore
Replace the lkml.org links with lore to better use a single source that's more likely to stay available long-term. Done by bash script: cvt_lkml_to_lore () { tmpfile=$(mktemp ./.cvt_links.XXXXXXX) header=$(echo $1 | sed 's@/lkml/@/lkml/headers/@') wget -qO - $header > $tmpfile if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then link=$(grep -i '^Message-Id:' $tmpfile | head -1 | \ sed -r -e 's/^\s*Message-Id:\s*<\s*//' -e 's/\s*>\s*$//' -e 's@^@https://lore.kernel.org/r/@') # echo "testlink: $link" if [ -n "$link" ] ; then wget -qO - $link > /dev/null if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then echo $link fi fi fi rm -f $tmpfile } git grep -P -o "\bhttps?://(?:www.)?lkml.org/lkml[\/\w]+" $@ | while read line ; do echo $line file=$(echo $line | cut -f1 -d':') link=$(echo $line | cut -f2- -d':') newlink=$(cvt_lkml_to_lore $link) if [[ -n "$newlink" ]] ; then sed -i -e "s#\b$link\b#$newlink#" $file fi done Link: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1265849/#1462688 Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/77cdb7f32cfb087955bfc3600b86c40bed5d4104.camel@perches.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
