web site moved to supmua.dev

[Dan Callaghan]

In light of the recent dramas around RubyGems.org[1] I thought it would
be good to have some other independent distribution channel for Sup
releases, which is not reliant on the goodwill of some company.

I have also been thinking for a while about reducing dependencies on
GitHub, for a similar reason. So I was not keen to start publishing
releases on GitHub either, nor relying more on GitHub Pages.

I wish we still had Sup's old domain, supmua.org. Unfortunately that
domain lapsed a long time ago and is still held by domain squatters.
I went ahead and registered a new domain, supmua.dev. I have put up the
old Sup web site there:

https://supmua.dev/

and now the GitHub Pages site at https://sup-heliotrope.github.io/
redirects to the new domain.

I also made a few small tweaks to the content of the site, and added
a page with an archive of all existing Sup released gems:

https://supmua.dev/releases/

I also set up public-inbox[2] with a searchable archive of the current
supmua Google Group, as well as the old RubyForge mailing lists:

https://supmua.dev/lists/

Hit reply if you see anything amiss with the new domain.

I am saddened to see GitHub continuing on its downwards
trajectory[1][2]. In order to further reduce dependencies on it, I have
put up a copy of all the Sup git repos on the supmua.dev web site.

https://supmua.dev/git/

It allows anonymous cloning via HTTPS. There is also a very rudimentary
web view of all files and commits, generated by stagit[3] to keep
hosting costs low.

The repos on GitHub and supmua.dev will be kept in sync with each other.
