I've think I've forgotten - why was gna.org nixed? The reason I ask is
that I talked to RMS and surprisingly, he's not opposed to us moving
the repository if we really want to, although he would prefer us going
to gna.org. He does not like sourceware.org
We should also talk about all the implications this might involve. For
instance, the current CVS archive at savannah will still be there, so
we have to inform people about that.
We could probably have savannah-hackers put something on the page saying that
"this project has been moved".
This is what permanent HTTP redirects are for. Please, if we were to go
the route of moving, don't request that a nasty page with a "please
click on the link below or a meta-redirect be set up when there is a
proper solution (HTTP redirect, which is a one-liner, specified in the
apache config for http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/wherever (as I write
this, savannah seems to be offline, as I cannot visit it via HTTP or
HTTPS nor ping it)
Plus we can't say, 'just update from CVS' to everyone who has a
problem anymore. Most people won't have svn, even if they knew how to
do that stuff. We need to update things like the daily snapshots.
I wonder if we could still mirror the repository on CVS? Either at gna
or savannah. Even if it is read-only.
We should probably just move to SVN outright.
Yes, what's the point of mirroring to CVS, when there are snapshots? It
seems like a massive waste of time. We shouldn't be encouraging people
to use CVS/SVN anyways.
I'm still not sure I want to leave savannah, but they're so
understaffed, it seems like it could be a long long time before they
have a useful system working.
Quite true.
Yes, and their understaffedness isn't likely to change any time soon,
either.
