Trying to install pandoc on an x86-64 Debian stable system says:
> Need to get 15.2 MB of archives.
> After this operation, 117 MB of additional disk space will be used.
My laptop is on metered Internet nowadays and already low on
disk space, so installing pandoc is not realistic. Maybe it
wasn't realistic to other hackers with limited resources in the
past.
There's also dozens of subtly incompatible Markdown flavors out
there, most of which can't really handle manpages. Anyways,
roff isn't too bad and at least groff is well-documented.
Updating the website now requires olddoc 1.8.0 (which is much
smaller than pandoc), but I'm the only one with that burden. On
the flipside more users can update and read the manpages locally
without extra software, since nearly every developer's *nix
system has man(1) command, unlike pandoc.

Hopefully the wording is a little more explicit and clearer
by stating its purpose in the first line of the description.

Latency from redirects is painful, and HTTPS can protect privacy
in some cases.
|
|
HTTPS helps some with reader privacy and Let's Encrypt seems to
be working well enough the past few months.
This change will allow us to reduce subjectAltName bloat in our
TLS certificate over time. It will also promote domain name
agility to support mirrors or migrations to other domains
(including a Tor hidden service mirror).
http://bogomips.org/unicorn/ will remain available for people on
legacy systems without usable TLS. There is no plan for automatic
redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS at this time.

* add nntp_url to the olddoc website footer
* update legacy support status for 4.x (not 4.8.x)
* update copyright range to 2016
* note all of our development tools are Free Software, too
* remove cgit mention; it may not always be cgit
(but URLs should remain compatible).
* discourage downloading snapshot tarballs;
"git clone" + periodic "git fetch" is more efficient
* remove most mentions of unicorn_rails as that
was meant for ancient Rails 1.x/2.x users
* update path reference to Ruby 2.3.0
* fix nginx upstream module link to avoid redirect
* shorten Message-ID example to avoid redirects
and inadvertant linkage

Most of these were found by the `linkchecker' package
in Debian.

Update the old mailing list info with our new public-inbox info.
The old mongrel.rubyforge.org links have been dead for years,
oh well. There's only a few days left of RubyForge left...

working_directory and Worker#user got added over time, so
recommending Dir.chdir and Process::UID.change_privilege
is bad.
|
|
Mostly for `unicorn_rails`, but TMPDIR is universal.

..but keep -P deprecated. --path is still useful for testing
ad-hoc changes when you don't want to commit your changes
permanently to a configuration file.
