RE: HURD source code at hurd.gnu.org

[Jim Franklin]

Hi Ian,
 There is not really a capacity for dynamic links at gnu.org at this time.
We are able to run scripts so are going for a batch type operation. The more
experienced developers make use of cvsweb for dynamic interfacing with the
source. The main selling point for using lxr is its capacity for
cross-referencing, without that feature a cleaner page can be generated with
GNU Global it seems.

After a quick look at lxr, it seems pretty simpleminded in how it works.
It would probably be possible to pregenerate the pages used by spidering
it with "wget -r" and then rsyncing that to gnu.org periodically.

This would get you the cross-indexed pages served statically, but you
would lose the search features and such.

What are the options for dynamic html at gnu.org? Do they allow php or
anything like that?
