Many of the HTML doc files have
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
in them. Some will find it inappropriate [1,2] to track their reading habits. I imagine it might cause a problem for those who want to read offline.
Can the docs be re-generated before release without these scripts?
Forgot to list the offending files:
libs/gil/doc (basically all of them) tools/build/v2/index.html
(this is true of both release and trunk)
I am unsure that privacy concerns there are might be. I don't think Google provides per-IP data at all, and even if they did, it's unclear why the list of documentation pages read counts as minimally sensitive information.
Certainly many people will not be bothered by this, but some will: I posted because I was asked to remove the script from Debian [1].
A compromise is possible: remove the tracking from the source files, used in offline reading, but add it for docs located on the web site, as tools/build/v2/roll.sh appears to do.
I have done so. - Volodya
