Another problem, which you may or may not have encountered, is
that the "upload these image files" part should come before
running "make website" unless you're building it inside a
previously-built doc tree.  I'll update the CG.

Those are normal.  I forget exactly why we had to end up with so
many warnings, but it had something to do with the translations.

That's bash script, not python.

That's normal; the web server has a different directory layout
than git, so when you build the website for uploading, it needs to
use that other directory layout.  None of the manual links will
work on your local computer unless you make a bunch of symlinks.

(you'd only need 2-4 symlinks to make it work with the 2.13 docs,
but trying to make it work with the 2.12 docs would require 15-20
symlinks -- totally not worth it)
