[Buildroot] [PATCH] docs/manual/getting: fix dead link

[Alexis Lothoré via buildroot]

When searching for the official git repository in the documentation,
readers are forwarded to the buildroot website Download page with a link
pointing to buildroot.org/download, which returns a 404.

Fix the dead link by adding the missing .html suffix.

Maybe switch to https while at it? This link redirects there anyway.

Sure. But in this case, I guess it does not make sense to do it only for
this link, and it should be done for any link pointing to buildroot.org:

$ grep -ri "http://.*buildroot.org" ~/src/buildroot/docs/manual

If maintainers are fine with that, I can add a dedicated commit in a v2.

Thanks,

Alexis

I applied this patch on master, to fix this broken link.

But I agree we could move all http://buildroot.org links to https. Could
you send a separate patch for that please?

For another documentation url cleanup, I'm also suggesting to update all
git.buildroot.org links to https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org

Sure, I'll follow up with a small series to update those two points as
well.

Thanks,

Alexis
