Package: checkbot
Version: 1.80-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Checkbot creates a set of pages telling me all the links on my site
are valid, then adds a footer:

| ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
| 
|  Page created by *Checkbot 1.80* on _Sat_Nov_1_12:00:58_2014_.
|
|  *[Valid XHTML 1.1]*
|

That "Checkbot 1.80" text is a dead link to the old home page.

The "Valid XHTML 1.1" alt text accompanies an image hosted on the
w3c.org servers.  This causes the page to contain a broken image link
if I view it while offline; and clicking the button fails because
validator.org can't access http://mypc.localnet/checkbot.html.

Besides, while it's true that the main page is valid according to the
15-year-old XHTML 1.1 standard, the per-server pages are full of
errors, such as unterminated <dt>s and <dd>s.

Even if that was fixed, Checkbot can never guarantee that its output
pages will be valid, since its reports may quote links like
"http://</>" precisely because they're invalid.

My patch updates the homepage link with the new URL and simply throws
out the "valid XHTML" line.
