[chrony-dev] Moving chrony website

[Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As you may have noticed, most of the services of tuxfamily.org were
down for 10 days:

https://www.tuxfamily.org/en/news/2023070900

I understand it is a free service running on a minimal budget. That's
fine. It worked great since the sunsite->tuxfamily migration in 2009.
But it doesn't look like it's being developed any more. As the
importance of the chrony project grew over the years, I think we
should move it to a larger and more robust provider where issues like
power failures can be expected to be well handled.

I like gitlab and I'm already using it to mirror the tuxfamily git
repository. Beside git repositories, they can host static web pages.
A test clone of the website (keeping the links to tuxfamily) is now
here: https://chrony.gitlab.io

To make it easy to move again if/when gitlab turns out to be
problematic, I'm considering to register a domain for chrony. All the
nice ones like chrony.net, chrony.org, chrony.cd seem to be taken.
The following domains are currently available, which I thought might
be acceptable:

- chronyd.net
- chronyd.org
- chrony-project.net
- chrony-project.org
- chrony.network
- chrony.dev

The mailing lists will stay on tuxfamily, at least until a good
replacement is found. I'm not aware of any and I'm not interested in
managing our own MTA.

Does this seem reasonable?
