[libvirt] [PATCH 2/3] docs: website: drop the static todo list page

Cole Robinson crobinso at redhat.com
Fri May 20 14:27:04 UTC 2016


libvirt.org/todo.html is currently broken:

  Todo list unavailable: no config file

The page is supposed to be auto generated from the bug tracker
using todo.pl scripts, but apparently that's broken, and the
bug tracking assumptions used by the script were never maintained.

A manual run of todo.pl from 2013 was present on the wiki at

  http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Todo

With some more info explaining that the list isn't any guarantee
the RFEs will be included.

Drop the broken static page and scripts, and point the sitemap
link at the wiki page, which is easier to maintain and to automate
using bugzilla queries and RSS
