Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 8e3fee33af Revert "docs: use collections to structure the data" 
This reverts commit 5e8ff010a1.

This broke all the URLs, we can't have that. (And actually, we probably don't
_want_ to make the change either. It's nicer to have all the pages in one
directory, so one doesn't have to figure out to which collection the page
belongs.)

Steps to a Successful Release Contributing default LGPL-2.1-or-later

Steps to a Successful Release

  1. Add all items to NEWS
  2. Update the contributors list in NEWS (ninja -C build git-contrib)
  3. Update the time and place in NEWS
  4. Update hwdb (ninja -C build update-hwdb, ninja -C build update-hwdb-autosuspend, commit separately).
  5. Update syscall numbers (ninja -C build update-syscall-tables update-syscall-header).
  6. [RC1] Update library numbers in meson.build
  7. Update version number in meson.version (e.g. from v256~devel to v256~rc1 or from v256~rc3 to v256)
  8. Check dbus docs with ninja -C build update-dbus-docs
  9. Update translation strings (cd build, meson compile systemd-pot, meson compile systemd-update-po) - drop the header comments from systemd.pot + re-add SPDX before committing. If the only change in a file is the 'POT-Creation-Date' field, then ignore that file.
  10. Tag the release: version=vXXX~rcY && git tag -s "${version}" -m "systemd ${version}". Note that this uses a tilde (~) instead of a hyphen (-) because tildes sort lower in version comparisons according to the version format specification, and we want v255~rc1 to sort lower than v255.
  11. Do ninja -C build
  12. Make sure that the version string and package string match: build/systemctl --version
  13. [FINAL] Close the github milestone and open a new one (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/milestones)
  14. "Draft" a new release on github (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/releases/new), mark "This is a pre-release" if appropriate.
  15. Check that announcement to systemd-devel, with a copy&paste from NEWS, was sent. This should happen automatically.
  16. Update IRC topic (/msg chanserv TOPIC #systemd Version NNN released | Online resources https://systemd.io/)
  17. [FINAL] Push commits to stable, create an empty -stable branch: git push systemd-stable --atomic origin/main:main origin/main:refs/heads/${version}-stable.
  18. [FINAL] Build and upload the documentation (on the -stable branch): ninja -C build doc-sync
  19. [FINAL] Change the default branch to latest release (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/settings/branches).
  20. [FINAL] Change the Github Pages branch in the stable repository to the newly created branch (https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stable/settings/pages) and set the 'Custom domain' to 'systemd.io'
  21. [FINAL] Update version number in meson.version to the devel version of the next release (e.g. from v256 to v257~devel)
