<h1>Download libreboot</h1>
<p>
Torrent (magnet) links to releases, and links to third-party HTTP mirrors. Use this page
to download libreboot. These are stable releases; for development (unstable) releases,
refer back to the home page.
</p>
<p>
<b>This page isn't actually ready yet. For now, the official download page
is at <a href="../docs/release.html">../docs/release.html</a>. On the next release of libreboot after r20150208,
release archives will no longer be hosted on the libreboot.org HTTP server. Old releases
will be deleted and moved to bittorrent. New releases will also be hosted on bittorrent.</b>
</p>
<p>
<b>Why bittorrent? As we all know, bittorrent is inherently more efficient than a HTTP server
for large files, due to its peer-to-peer distributed nature. Libreboot releases are actually much
more efficient now, where ROM images for each machine are separated into their own tar archives.
The old 'binary' archive is now named 'utils'. Documentation is also deleted from 'utils' and 'src'
and now available in a separate archive. All of this means that the user has a much more streamlined
way of getting libreboot releases, with less data to download. Bittorrent will improve this even
further, giving users faster download speeds.</b>
</p>
<p>
<b>Bittorrent is also redundant. The libreboot project will not actually host its own tracker at all,
but it will instead use many public trackers and publish the magnet links. The website is also
hosted in git, which means that everything is easier to mirror. If libreboot.org is down, you'll
still be able to download libreboot so long as you have those magnet links.</b>
</p>
<p>
Information about these releases can be found under docs/release.html in the libreboot_docs archive
or in the git git repository. See <a href="../docs/release.html">../docs/release.html</a>.
</p>
<p>
It has been suggested to setup RSS feeds for this, so that people can automatically download and seed new releases.
TODO: look into this.

The magnet links for libreboot releases aren't actually available yet.
It will all be moved later. This page is just a template for the time being.

<h2>Git repositories</h2>
<h3>Main repositories</h3>
<p>
This is the main repository, hosted by the libreboot project.
</p>
<p>
Firmware: $ <b>git clone <?php echo $lbFirmwareGitRepoAddress; ?></b><br/>
Website: $ <b>git clone <?php echo $lbWebsiteGitRepoAddress; ?></b>
</p>
<h3>Backup repositories</h3>
<p>
These are backup repositories, in case the main repository is down.
Although these are regularly updated by the libreboot project, you
should ideally use the main repository.
</p>
<p>
Firmware: $ <b>git clone https://gitorious.org/libreboot-backup/libreboot.git</b><br/>
Website: $ <b>git clone https://gitorious.org/libreboot-backup/libreboot-website.git</b>
</p>
<p>
Firmware: $ <b>git clone git://git.pehjota.net/libreboot-backup/libreboot.git</b><br/>
