Build process linkchecker needs replacing #8

Closed martindholmes closed 3 years ago

martindholmes commented 4 years ago

The linkchecker tool we were using in Jenkins to check external links in the Guidelines is obsolete, and is no longer in the repos for Ubuntu 20.04. It also has issues with TLS connections and certificate verification. That job is surely still important, so we should find another alternative. There is w3c-linkchecker:

https://dev.w3.org/perl/modules/W3C/LinkChecker/docs/checklink

which can be installed locally and would probably do the job fine.

notetoself: W3C linkchecker needs Debian package perl-modules for installing Perl packages via CPAN

There's a PR #9 now as well as a Docker image teic/jenkins:issue-8 for testing the proposed changes. Feedback welcome!
