We will be having an extended maintenance of https://git.ligo.org, https://containers.ligo.org, and https://docs.ligo.org on 7 May 2024 starting at approximately 9am PDT and lasting for three to four hours. This is to start the process of syncing the data from the current instance to the re-engineered instance we have been working with GitLab on over the past few months. Starting at approximately 9am GitLab will be put into maintenance mode, meaning that all services will be in read-only mode. Throughout the maintenance there may be several periods of downtime. Please address any comments, concerns or questions to the helpdesk.
Since autotools use autogen.sh to generate a configure file I have added running of the autogen.sh file if it exists.
In addition, autotools seems to generate symbolic links to system files, which permissions cannot be changed so a check has been added to not change the permission if the file is a symbolic link
