+== Description ==
+This Apache configuration is not only used to host websites like
+https://git.replicant.us or https://libsamsung-ipc.replicant.us but
+it is also an integral part of Replicant itself.
+
+This is because it contains many http redirect rules that are
+necessary for fetching the Replicant source code:
+- Repositories are sometimes moved around for various reasons
+ and the compatibility with older Replicant versions is kept
+ with redirect rules.
+- Some repositories mirrors like AOSP need to be redirected,
+ otherwise they would have to be renamed in the manifest
+ repository. Keeping them as-is enables us to automatically
+ integrate newer upstream changes. Without that git rebases
+ would often break, which would require us to manually
+ integrate upstream's changes instead.
+
+== Distributions ==
+Currently, Trisquel 8 is being used with that configuration.
+
+== License ==
+The license of all the files is the AGPLv3 or later.
