Bug#880161: www.debian.org: Get rid of the "tidy validation errors" forcing a rebuild of certain files

[Laura Arjona Reina <larjona@debian.org>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

With the migration of the website build server from jessie to stretch, we are
using a new version of the "tidy" tool, and now we are getting "Tidy validation
errors" for some webpages containing <link> tag without <rel>.

We have updated the template file that was causing these errors:

https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/english/template/debian/basic.wml?view=log

but many files still need to be rebuilt to use the updated template.

This is an easy task and do-able for anybody with commit permissions in the
website repo. It's just that there are many files to touch.

How can you help?

Go to the tidy logs
https://www-master.debian.org/build-logs/tidy/

and open a language file having a log file with more than 0 KB.
If you see errors like:

*** /srv/www.debian.org/www/path/to/file.cc.html
line 6 column 3 - Warning: <link> lacks "rel" attribute

Then the file language/path/to/file.wml needs to be touch:

touch language/path/to/file.wml
cvs commit language/path/to/file.wml

wait for the next tidy check (with the lessoften build) and the next tidy log
should not show that error for that page.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards
